The Baldwin S-12 was a 1200-horsepower (890 kW) diesel-electric locomotive intended for use in yard switching. Utilizing a turbocharged 6-cylinder version of the powerful 606A diesel prime mover S-12s were known for their lugging power despite being temperamental. Like most Baldwin switchers the S-12 had AAR Type-A switcher trucks in a B-B wheel arrangement. 451 units were built between 1951 and 1956 when Baldwin left the locomotive market.
