In the 1972 Penn Central Employee Timetable #6 Northeastern Region, on pg.212, is an extensive chart listing engine restrictions for the territory that was once the New Haven Railroad. PC used its own engine coding system that designated various types of locomotives in the chart.
I bought "Penn Central Power" at considerable expense hoping the book would state what type of engine each code stood for. Unfortunately, the book does not use the PC engine codes from the timetable, just the actual engine numbers found on the locomotives. So it was no help.
Does anyone know what type of locomotive the following PC engine codes designated? (For example, GP9, GP7, SW1200, GP30, RS3, etc.):
AS6

AF24
ARS10
ARS18
