"Roadname" refers to the railroad which the locomotive belongs to... For example, "Boston & Maine" would be a roadname, a defunct one at that

B&O was common in that area from what I remember. Lots of coal cars and salt. It actually kinda looks like the backside of the red one pictured in the sites banner.

I found it... It is amazing what you can discover by backtracking a link...

It is listed on this page, dated 04-09-1988...

The railroad is Ohi-Rail, and it is an ALCO S2 switcher locomotive... More pictures of that exact locomotive can be found here
