RS-4-TC Roster

Also see the RS-4-TC Photo Gallery


All units were built under US Army contracts. Of these units 1274-1276 and 4038-4044 were initially allocated for the UASF. During their military careers some units were transferred between the services, 1274 was transferred to the US Navy. [21]

The construction numbers are from the Whitcomb series of construction numbers. Baldwin SLD (Small Locomotive Division) continued to use construction numbers in this series after Whitcomb was moved to Eddystone. [21]

Of the 17 RS-4-TCs sent to Europe and North Africa by the military 15 were returned to the USA
in 1978 [21] .The 4039 now in Tunisia and the 4038 now in Spain could be the 2 not returned.
note: #1253 reportedly exported to Spain in 2000
