Artifact Overview

The American Locomotive Company, established in 1901, wisely transitioned from manufacturing steam locomotives to diesel-electric units in the 1920s. ALCO locomotives, built in partnership with General Electric, were popular with American railroads until GE ended the collaboration in 1953 and became a direct competitor. ALCO's market share fell steadily until the company was forced to end production in 1969.
