The Baldwin AS-416 was a diesel-electric locomotive of the road switcher type rated at 1600 horsepower, that rode on three-axle trucks, having an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement.

Used in much the same manner as its four-axle counterpart, the Baldwin AS-16, though the wheel arrangement spread out the axle load for operation on light rail such as are found on branch lines.
