In 1963, the ALCO Century 624 (Also known as the ALCO DL600C/RSD-41) was proposed for ALCO's new [[ALCO Century Series locomotives|Century series]] of [[road switcher]] diesel locomotives as a successor to ALCO's earlier [[road switcher]] locomotive the [[ALCO RSD-15]].<ref name=":0">Alco Offer New Century Locomotive Series ''[[Railway Age]]'' February 4, 1963 pages 16/17</ref><ref name=":1">Alco Century Series locomotive ''[[Railway Gazette International|Railway Gazette]]'' April 12, 1963 pages 411-413</ref> |
