During
1965 Alco started producing the 3,000 hp. Century 630
Locomotive. It was produced concurrently with the 2,800
hp. C-628, but it incorporated an advanced GE a.c. traction
alternator which provided the extra 200 hp. The most
distinctive spotting feature of the C-630 is the large
aftercooler radiator housing which extends above the
roofline (the aftercooler radiators enhanced the performance
of the locomotive while operating under a heavy load).
The C-630 also featured a modified cab which offered
more interior space for the crew. Through the end of
production in the late 1960s, a total of 133 units were
produced for railroads in the US and Canada.
