		The American Locomotive Company, shortened to ALCO (or Alco) was a builder of railroad locomotives in the United States.
		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.
		Although it was strongly committed to the steam locomotive, ALCO produced the first commercially successful diesel-electric locomotive in 1924 in a consortium with General Electric (electrical equipment) and Ingersoll-Rand (diesel engine).

	Alco DL109
		ALCo was ready to introduce its new passenger diesel design, the PA series, and the DL-109 was relegated to the distant memories of railfans.
		ALCo had a new serious competitor in EMD, and the PA and FA were viewed as the company's best chance for competing in the diesel market.
		ALCo used an all-out publicity campaign to promote the PA cab units and quickly phased out DL-109 production once the decision was made to promote the PA as its premier passenger locomotive.

	American Locomotive Company - TheBestLinks.com - Alco, Automobile, Diesel engine, France, ...
		The company was created in 1901 from the merger of the former Schenectady Locomotive Works and six other locomotive builders, including the Pittsburgh Locomotive and Car Works.
		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 and 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 Works, who continued their manufacture.

	Diesel Locomotive FAQ
		Diesel locomotives have an availability of 90% or better, compared to 30-40% for the average steamer.
		Most diesel locomotives do not use anti-freeze because the chemicals in anti-freeze can be harmful to certain types of metal used in the primer mover.
		Locomotives with DC traction motors must have the throttle reduced slightly when going over a grade crossing to reduce the risk of a flashover.

	Chemistry - General Motors Electro-Motive Division
		That the victory of the diesel locomotive over the steam locomotive was, outwardly, such an easy and rapid one is thanks to the marketing and sales skill of EMD, backed by its aggressive and confident corporate parent.
		The story of diesel's conquest of steam is better placed elsewhere, but a combination of many factors weakened steam's position and strengthened that of the diesel locomotive, and by the late 1940s to early 1950s, the majority of American railroads had decided to dieselize.
		In 1959, however, GE's patience with Alco was running thin; they appeared unable to compete with EMD, and in that year GE announced that it was going to enter the road locomotive field itself.

	American Locomotive Company (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		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.
		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.
		Also a factor was that Alco's diesel locomotives were competing with its own steam locomotive products, while EMD had no such overlap.

	ALCo-GE-IR Boxcabs Page
		The first production diesel locomotive, then called an "oil electric" locomotive (to avoid the German), was one of four (Pinkepank, 1967, says five) built for speculation; the first, single-ended, with a prominently rounded nose, was fired up and ran in December 1923 and was released for demonstration in June 1924.
		Marre (1995) also says that these first units were diesel versions of gas-electrics, being powered by a dieselized 225-hp version of the 175-hp GM16 engine, and that the Baltimore customer was, in fact, the City of Baltimore, itself, and pictures the little beast on page 140.
		ALCo split away from the consortium in 1928 and produced boxcabs on its own; GE's later units were equipped with a vertical, radial fan in a flat, conical radiator housing at each end (LIRR 401 was later converted to these).

		The Cab is the nerve center of the locomotive, containing a majority of the controls neccessary for function and movement.
		The truck is where all of the Locomotives weight is distributed before once again being distributed to the axles and finally onto the wheels, which contact the railhead.
		To prevent the slosh of Diesel Fuel, baffles or long steel partitions are installed in the fuel tanks to prevent the moving Diesel fuel to begin rocking the Diesel engine to the point of derailment.

		This locomotive is used to haul the museum's passenger train, and was purchased after a fire destroyed/severely damaged a lot of the museum's equipment, including two steam locomotives.
		Unlike many locomotive factories, the plant was adjacent to a residential neighbourhood and a park, and new locomotives were easily viewed from public land.
		One of the greatest numbers of locomotives produced at MLW were the 4-6-2 "bullet nosed" engines for India.

	S. Berliner, III's ALCo Page
		The first production diesel locomotive, then called an "oil electric" locomotive, was one of four (or five) boxcab locomotives built for speculation; the first was fired up and ran in December 1923 and was released for demonstration in June 1924.
		It was built by a consortium of ALCo, GE, already a well-recognized manufacturer of electric locomotives and components for electrics (and in co-operation with ALCo on these since the 1890s), and Ingersoll-Rand, a major builder of gasoline and diesel motors (and still famed for its air compressors).
		As long as we are talking about the automotive-styled PA cabs and their baby-sibling FA cabs, didja know that the Long Island Rail Road had a fleet of cab units with (in most cases) their prime movers removed and Head End (housekeeping - heat and a/c) Power sleds substituted.

	Buffalo Creek Alco #43
		In July 2000, the Society entered into an agreement with RELCO LOCOMOTIVES, INC. to purchase this rare ALCO Model HH660 High Hood Switching Locomotive that was originally built in March, 1940 for the Buffalo Creek Railroad.
		This model HH660 was a "High Hood" diesel switching locomotive equipped with a six cylinder, 660HP model 539 engine and was the first ALCO diesel locomotive purchased by the Buffalo Creek.
		Various options were looked into including loading the engine onto a flat car or replacing the trucks with roller bearing units, however the cost of purchasing the engine and moving it back home were beginning to get out of hand, and it appeared that it was going to be cost prohibitive to save the engine.

	Aristo-Craft Trains: Alco FA-1 / FB-1 Diesels
		Starting immediately after the end of World War II, ALCO built hundreds of these 1500 horsepower diesel locomotives for use by railroads in the USA, Mexico, South America, Cuba, and Canada.
		Primarily intended as a replacement for steam locomotives in freight train service, the FA-1 was also used in passenger service.
		However, an ALCO FA-1 Diesel Locomotive has been restored to operating condition in Connecticut and examples of recently retired MLW FPA-4 Diesel Locomotives have been returned to operating condition to haul passenger excursion trains in California.

	RR Museum of PA - E7 Diesel
		Since there were no fueling facilities for diesels between the EMD plant near Chicago and Harrisburg, 5900 and 5901 made the trip as a light engine move in order to conserve precious fuel.
		Initially, these remarkable locomotives shared premier passenger runs with a small group of other diesels purchased by PRR from Fairbanks Morse and Alco, along with a 24-unit order of huge Baldwin "Centipede" diesels, 90-foot long, 3000-horsepower roaring monsters that quickly proved even less dependable than the troubled T1 steamers.
		Literally hiding the locomotive for nearly three years in an abandoned portion of the Harrisburg roundhouse, local Penn Central management officials conspired with a Mechanical Department employee in Philadelphia to keep 5901 off the scrap sale list.
