Baldwin AS-16

The BLH AS-16 was a diesel-electric locomotive rated at 1,625 hp (1,212 kW), that rode on two-axle trucks, having a B-B wheel arrangement. It was the successor to Baldwin's DRS-4-4-1500 model, and remained in production until Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton quit the locomotive manufacturing business in 1956. Nine railroads bought 127 locomotives, with five railroads having bought the previous model. Former Missouri Pacific 4328 was sold to Bethlehem Steel for Iron Mines Co. of Venezuela and was later acquired by Ferrominera Orinoco. Today the locomotive survives on display at the entrance of CVG Ferrominera Orinoco in Guyana City, Venezuela. It is the sole surviving Baldwin AS-16.
