It's a GE U-boat either a U30C or U33.

If you're interested in really making a Tyco an excellent runner, then install the motors from an old CD rom drive and then they make excellent engines. I bought 4 old CD Roms from Value Village for about $2.

The Tyco train site in the link above list the following for this set, 'This train set was billed by TYCO as a 101-piece Super Over & Under Set. The Rock Island Line in 1978 featured a red with yellow nose and tail Rock Island Alco Century 430 (#235-10) diesel'.
