The Alco RS-3m is a diesel-electric locomotive rebuilt from an Alco RS-3 Road switcher. These locomotives were rebuilt to replace their original Alco prime mover with the more reliable EMD 567B engine and fan assemblies taken from retired E8's. Many of these rebuilds were performed by the ex-NYC DeWitt shop with 56 completed at the ex-PRR Juniata shop. The RS3m rebuild program started in 1972 and continued until 1978 under Conrail
