One of a kind C420 #410, with notches in the nose like an RS series loco. As a result of an accident, 410 was fitted with a cut down high nose, supplied by the then sister road Norfolk & Western, when the D&H was under Dereco control.

Not long after 'Conveyance Day', C420 #413 sits at Mechanicville, still in its previous owners colors -- note the hurriedly applied D&H logo on the nose and the white line striking through 'Lehigh' on the side. Reproduced from a Bill Mischler slide ©copyright. Used by permission.

All second hand from L&HR and LV. As the result of an accident, 410 received a new nose made from a N&W high short nose. This resulted in a low nose with notches like an RS11/36. 401 (ex L&HR) went to the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad as their #58
In early 1976 through 1977, the Delaware and Hudson found itself with an
ever increasing need for extra motive power. This was due to the newly
aquired trackage rights that was brought on by the formation of Conrail.
In March of 1976 and then later in September
of that year - the D&H Shops
at Colonie, NY were used to store several High Hood ALCO C-420's that were
being returned back to their original owner, the Railway Traction Company -
as their leases had expired from the Long Island Railroad. Seizing the
opportunity to gain more ALCO Motive Power, the D&H leased several of these
units for their own use in 1977. All of the locomotives were quickly
pressed into service - still wearing their MTA paint scheme, and keeping their
original 200-series roadnumbers - while only receiving a small D&H Shield
on the sides of the cab to signify their new operator. As these locomotives
did not have dynamic brakes, they were mostly used in the northern divisions
of the railroad, where the terrain was not quite so mountainous. And
their tenure on the Delaware and Hudson was indeed a short one, as by the end
of 1977 - all the units were either sold off or leased to other railroads.
