The 'T' stood for 'Transfer', meaning this locomotive was capable of faster transition and higher sustained speeds than the regular 'S' - type yard switcher series.

Original Buyers

The Delaware Coast Line Railway, the Ohio Central Railway and the Arkansas & Missouri operate the T-6. The OHC's is unique because it was built with Alco's special Hi-Ad trucks, the only one built with those trucks.
