	List of ALCO diesel locomotives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ALCO FPA - (FPA-2,4) B-B cab primarily passenter locomotives
		ALCO announced its "Century Series" of diesel locomotives in 1963 as a leap forward in power and reliability, an attempt to compete more aggressively with GM-EMD and GE in the marketplace.
		ALCO DH643 - experimental diesel-hydraulic locomotive for the Southern Pacific Railroad.

		ALCO was known for its steam locomotives of which the 4-6-4 Hudson and the 4-8-4 Niagara built for the New York Central and the 4-6-6-4 (Challenger) built for the Union Pacific Railroad were fine examples.
		ALCO cars won the Vanderbilt Cup in both 1908 and 1910, but they had less success in sales, abandoning automobile manufacture in 1913.
		The ALCO automobile story is chiefly notable for starting the automobile career of Walter P. Chrysler, the plant manager, who left for Buick in 1911 and subsequently founded the Chrysler automobile giant.

	Alco versus EMD
		ALCo's initial participation in the diesel industry was a direct response to the Kaufman Act, passed by the State of New York in 1923 and amended in 1924 and 1926.
		ALCo executives initially refused to admit to their customers, to industry analysts, to their investors, or to themselves that the cherished steam locomotive of the past would no longer be the power source of the future.
		ALCo's transformation from a steam locomotive builder to a producer of diesel locomotives failed because its management, constrained by an outmoded corporate culture, did not perceive that their company would require a radical and comprehensive transformation if it were to survive in the diesel locomotive industry.

		Alco's higher-capacity Model 800 turbosupercharger was used in conjunction with a single-pipe stainless steel exhaust manifold and improved after-cooling with a separate radiator system.
		The Century 855 was not included in the introduction of the Century series of locomotives in January of 1963, but was announced in the summer of 1963.
		Alco, not to be outdone or even matched, responded by notching their machine's horsepower up to 5,500 (2,750-hp per engine).

	Union Pacific Century 855
		It is likely that at a time when America was becoming very conscious about pollution, this did nothing to enamour the C855s to the authorities and may have been a contributor to their downfall.
		Whatever the reason for their final demise, the C855s were never the most reliable locos on the UP and all were retired in September 1970.
		ALCO Models () have made both Century* 855A and B units in brass.

	Union Pacific "Double Diesel" Locomotives
		ALCO's offering was the most powerful diesel delivered up to that time in the US, and the largest loco that ALCO ever built.
		The Century 855 was a 5500hp loco (GM's DD35 and the GE U50s were both 5000hp) and ALCO built an A-B-A unit demonstrator set.
		The ALCO 251 prime movers in the C855's smoked in a typical ALCO fashion, and photos frequently show them under a large plume of fl exhaust.
