The Lionel 209 New Haven diesel was first manufactured in 1958 and is based on the Alco FA diesel. It features a painted body shell with the New Haven livery. It is one of the second wave of Lionel Alco diesels that were of cheaper construction that the earlier ones.

Other features include front and rear die-cast non-operating couplers, two axle Magnatraction, three position E-unit, functional horn, and illumination.

These were typically sold in a two unit configuration, with one powered unit and one unpowered dummy unit. They were produced for one year, 1958, with only one known variation.
