Boston & Maine Alco S-5 switcher

 

Seen in 1965.  This is one of 7 units of this model made, in June 1954.  Of these, 6 went to Boston and Maine; after being used as a demonstrator unit, the other went to Island Creek Fuel and Transportation Company. They were Bo-Bo type diesel electrics, powered by an ALCo 251 prime mover rated at 800 hp.
