Prototype
Information
During 1965
Alco started producing the 3,000 hp. Century 630 Locomotive. It
was produced concurrently with the 2,800 hp. C-628, but it incorporated
an advanced GE a.c. traction alternator which provided the extra
200 hp. The most distinctive spotting feature of the C-630 is
the large aftercooler radiator housing which extends above the
roofline (the aftercooler radiators enhanced the performance of
the locomotive while operating under a heavy load). The C-630
also featured a modified cab which offered more interior space
for the crew. Through the end of production in the late 1960s,
a total of 133 units were produced for railroads in the US and
Canada.
