Notes

  1. Pennsylvania Leased several RS11s to the Lehigh Valley (#7640-7648). Several were converted to slugs and still exist; the others were scrapped.
  2. MLW-built RS-10s are not included in this list because they were powered by the 244 prime mover. (See companion RS Series list Ð 244-Powered
