ALCo built a total of 131 Century 420
locomotives between 1963 and 1969, when the builder
ceased all new locomotive production.
Powered by a 12-cylinder, turbocharged, 2,000-hp
251-series prime mover, the C420’s direct
competitor in 1963 was the EMD GP18. In fact, EMD
did not offer a 12-cylinder, 2,000-hp prime mover
until the GP39 model was produced in 1969. The
shorter 12-cylinder engine block allowed the C420
to have its distinctive set-back cab and extended
short hood.
The first road to purchase the C420 was the Lehigh
& Hudson River, with its first two units built
in 1963. The largest fleet was purchased by the
Long Island Railroad, with 30 units built between
1963 and 1968. All were equipped with a high short
hood which housed a steam generator for passenger
service. Over time, the largest fleet of C420s was
amassed by the Louisville & Nashville. While
only 26 units were purchased new, their total fleet
grew to well over 60 units through mergers and
acquisitions. The C420 can still be found in daily
service today in the US. Currently the largest
fleet of C420s is operated by the Arkansas &
Missouri Railroad.
Atlas’ first release of the C420 is a low-nose
“phase 1” model. The combination of
stanchions mounted into the top of the walkway deck
and a high-mounted engine air intake (located ahead
of the radiator area) identifies this C420 variant.
Phase 1 models were produced between June 1963 and
October 1964 and this first production run covers
all original owners of the low nose version.
