There were certain Alco RS-3 locomotives the one I remember was Lehigh Valley Railroad #211 that had higher than normal short hood containing a stream generator for passenger service. This gave the unit a unique appearance. LV received the unit in trade from the PRR during its relationship as a ward of the PRR. Western Maryland also apparently had some of these units I believe these were known as "Hammerheads" by some. One of these units is preserved in a Railroad Museum in Rochester, NY. There may also be other uses of this slang. Check out page 53 of Lehigh Valley in Color (Vol. 1) by Yanosey for a photo. <br /> <br />LC
