	American Locomotive Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Locomotive Company, shortened to ALCo was a builder of railroad locomotives in the United States.
		ALCO also built the first steam locomotive in North America to use roller bearings: Timken 1111, a 4-8-4 commissioned in 1930 by Timken Roller Bearing Company was used for 100,000 miles (161,000 km) on fifteen major United States railroads before it was purchased in 1933 by Northern Pacific Railroad.
		This locomotive was sold to the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and subsequent locomotives were built for a number of railroads including the Long Island Rail Road and the Chicago and North Western Railway.

		The American Locomotive Company, shortened to ALCO (or Alco) was a builder of railroad locomotives in the United States.
		ALCO was known for its steam locomotives of which the 4-6-4 Hudson and the 4-8-4 built for the New York Central and the 4-6-6-4 (Challenger) built for the Union Pacific Railroad were fine examples.
		This locomotive was sold to the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and subsequent locomotives were built for a number of railroads including the Long Island Rail Road and the Chicago and Northwestern Railway.

	Steamtown NHS: Special History Study
		American locomotives dominated Latin America, with notable exceptions of Argentina, Brazil, and to some extent Chile, and went to locations as diverse as Japan, Formosa, China, Manchuria, Russia, and Australia.
		American Locomotive had to remove the oil burner from the firebox and the oil tank from the tender and convert the grates to bum coal fuel, but once the company had completed that work the New York short line had adopted a spiffy little engine that would serve until the end of steam.
		This little postwar Consolidation represents a fairly common wheel arrangement of freight locomotive during the latter decades of the 19th century and down to the end of the era of steam locomotives in the 20th century.

		The Montreal Locomotive Works commenced activities in 1902 under the name of Locomotive and Machine Company of Montreal Ltd. In 1904 the American Locomotive Company of Schenectady New York (ALCO), which manufactured steam locomotives in several plants in North America, bought the Montreal plant.
		The principal railway companies represented are the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Canadian National, the Quebec Railway Light and Power Co., the Niagara St. Catherines and Toronto Railway, the Shawinigan Falls Terminal Railway, the Napierville Junction Railway, as well as the Sydney and Louisbourg Railway.
		Canadian tramway companies shown are the Montreal and Southern Counties, the Cornwall Street Railway, the Montreal Tramways Company, the Ottawa Electric Railway, and the Cornwall Electric Railway.

	Oregon California & Eastern Railroad/ Weyerhaeuser Woods Railroad
		Built as Oregon Washington Railway and Navigation Company #1110, re-numbered to #59; to Oregon Railway and Navigation Company #59, to Union Pacific #530, to Oregon Railway and Navigation Company #65, to Klamath Falls Municiple Railway #1 1917, to Oregon California and Eastern #1 1919.
		Weyerhaeuser crews tended to refer to the locomotives with only the last number, which meant that the #101 was the #1 and the #102 was the #2.
		The steam locomotive #4 was still active when the diesels arrived, and as a result the #104 was skipped to eliminate any possibilities that the diesel could be mistaken for the steam locomotive.

	The History of Alco Locomotive #300
		Unfortunately, the locomotive, tender, and accompanying rails is now long gone, but the 10' by 50' concrete pad which supported the locomotive and tender is still in place.
		The locomotive was removed from the park in January 1988, in an undaunted, lack of public attention kind of way.
		Considering that the locomotive had sat unguarded and unprotected for so many years, I felt that we were very lucky that the brass plate had stayed in the proper hands, as had many other fixtures.

	Big Boy 4018 History
		The 4-8-8-4 Type locomotive, 20 of which were delivered in the fall of 1941, to the Union Pacific by the American Locomotive Company are the largest in size and heaviest from the standpoint of total engine and tender weight, of any simple articulated eight-coupled locomotives which have been built.
		Some idea of the capacity of this type of locomotive to move traffic may be gained from the fact that it is designed to develop 7000 hp.
		When the locomotives are assigned to districts where the maximum gradient is 2.2 per cent the water columns can be raised one inch on the boiler attachment so that the lowest readings become 6 1/2 in.

	AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY
		The company was created in 1901 from the merger of the former Schenectady Locomotive Works and a number of other locomotive builders.
		This locomotive was sold to the Central of New Jersey, and subsequent locomotives were built for a number of railroads including the Long Island Rail Road and the Chicago & North-Western Railroad.
		After the termination of locomotive production in 1969, the locomotive designs (but not the engine development rights) were sold to the Montreal Locomotive Company, who continued their manufacture.

		The locomotive developed 900 HP from a V12 diesel and was purchased by The New York Central.
		In the locomotive, the transmission is usually the main generator and its excitation system, with the final drive being the traction motors and gearing.
		Operating a locomotive of this type was quite similiar to that of a steam locomotive.

		Steam locomotives resisted the onset of dieseldom a bit longer in Canada than on most railroads south of the border, and this was also true for Canadian National Railways' operating unit in the Great Lakes states, the Grand Trunk Western.
		With a locomotive weight of 403,000 pounds and a combined engine-and-tender length of 96 feet, this class was still one of the smaller groups of 4-8-4s used on the North American railway system.
		According to Larry D. Bell, a former GTW employee, they were built in 1911 by the Brooks works of the American Locomotive Company as cross-compound locomotives, with steam from the high-pressure cylinder on the fireman's side being reused in the low-pressure cylinder on the engineer's side.

	Steamtown NHS: Special History Study
		What is known is that the second owner of the locomotive was the firm of E.J. Lavino and Company, which operated a manganese blast furnace at Sheridan, Pennsylvania, and needed a locomotive to switch plant trackage.
		Furthermore, because the locomotive appears to have its last paint and lettering scheme for E.J. Lavino and Company preserved intact, this study leans toward carefully cleaning the locomotive and stripping any rust, but otherwise not repainting the locomotive unless that is required for preservation, and instead preserving its existing paint scheme.
		This locomotive may offer an opportunity to preserve a locomotive as it was at the time it left the railroad industry rather than applying fresh new paint and lettering, however accurately.

		The locomotive wiring shows no scuffing and the Master Mechanic of the railway advised the electrical leaks were taken care of and the megger tests sere high in megohms.

		While her slightly more powerful 1600-horsepower and 1800-horsepower ALCO cousins are busy working mine run assigments or the oredocks, the 1500-horsepower Schenectady-built locomotive waits alone on the sidelines; time however is running out for the four-axle ALCO.
		The 1501 was the Upper Michigan ore hauling railroad's first diesel locomotive.
		Their tenure on the midwestern railroad, however, lasted a scant three years; the six-axle locomotives were traded back to ALCO (for the newer four-axle C420) where they lanquished for the better part of nearly two an a half years.

		Even the handful of electric locomotives ALCO built for various railraods are included.
		While all the pictures are in fl & white, I do wish the pictures of the diesels were in color; the B&W simply does not do justice to the lively color schemes railroad's used to paint their early diesels, especially those which hauled passenger trains.
