Wabash H24-66 594 |
| Description: |
Here's a couple of gentlemen concered about the front truck of Wabash H24-66 594 at North Kansas City, Missouri on, January 31, 1965, photo by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built as number 554 in May 1956 (c/n 24L895), it was renumbered in 1964 to 594, finally as N&W 3594. As built, it was powered by a 12-cylinder Opposed Piston diesel. In 1964, all eight of Wabash's Train Masters were re-engined by Alco with Model 251B prime movers, and rated at 2350 horsepower. The H24-66 production ran from 1953-1956, with a total of 105 copies produced in Beloit, Wisconsin, and 22 produced by the Canadian Locomotive Company (CLC) of Kingston, Ontario. When introduced as the Train Master in 1953, it was the most powerful single unit, single prime mover railroad locomotive available from any manufacturer, and initiated a horsepower race among all the builders. Four demonstrators were built (TM-1 through TM-4), and the first two became Wabash #550-551, and when re-engined by Alco became #598-599. |
