Built to Alco specifications DL-208 (cab) and DL-209 (booster), these units were designed for freight service. Built between 1946 and early 1950, these units were rated at 1,500-hp. The cab units were 51'6" long and the boosters were 50'6" long, leaving no roon for steam generator equipment. All DL-208/209 units went to the Gulf Mobile and Ohio. Units built to later specifications (DL-208A/209A, DL-208B/209B and DL-208C/209C) were more widely distributed. With the DL-208C/209C specification Horsepower was increased to 1,600
