S-Motor was the class designation given by the New York Central to its ALCO-GE built S-1 S-2 S-2a and S-3 electric locomotives. The S-Motors hold the distinction of being the world’s first mass-produced main line electric locomotives with the prototype #6000 being constructed in 1904. The S-Motors would serve alone until the more powerful T-motors began to arrive in 1913 eventually displacing them from main line passenger duties.
