The Alco S-6 (spec. DL 430) was a diesel-electric locomotive of the switcher type constructed by ALCO of Schenectady New York; a total of 126 locomotives were built between May 1955 and December 1960. The S-6 was a development of the earlier S-5; instead of the 800 hp (600 kW) ALCO 251 engine on the previous locomotive the S-6 used a 251A or 251B engine rated at 900 horsepower (670 kW). The locomotive rode on two-axle AAR trucks giving a B-B wheel arrangement.
