Introduced just in time for World War II’s crush of traffic, the Alco S-2 became a best-seller. Rare was the Class 1 railroad that did not own a fleet of them, and short lines coast-to-coast rostered them as well. By the end of production in 1950, more than 1500 S-2s had been delivered. The engines proved extremely durable, with many earning their keep into the 1970s and ’80s, and a number still operating today in tourist railroad and short line service. Like most Alco engines with turbochargers, S-2s are known by railfans as “honorary steam locomotives,” for the bursts of smoke they emit when their turbochargers rev up on acceleration.
