The DCRR website still does not work.

The DCRR is subsidiary of the Indiana Railway Museum:

The ALCO S2 is a 1,000 horsepower (746 kW) switcher diesel locomotive produced by ALCO. The locomotive is owned and operated by the Dubois County Railroad, a for-profit subsidiary of the Indiana Railway Museum.

Video of the S2. It wasn't numbered in 2010:
