The 1,600 hp (1,200 kW) FA-2/FB-2 (along with the FPA-2/FPB-2 variants) was built between October 1950 and June 1956. Finally, the 1,800 hp (1,300 kW) FPA-4/FPB-4 , powered by the 251 V-12 engine, was built between October 1958 and May 1959 by ALCO's Canadian subsidiary, Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW).
The American Locomotive Company (ALCO), based in Schenectady, New York, United States produced a wide range of diesel-electric locomotives from its opening in 1901 until it ceased manufacture in 1969. This is a list of ALCO locomotive classes. For individually notable locomotives, please see List of locomotives. There are numerous individual ...
The American Locomotive Company (often shortened to ALCO, ALCo or Alco) was an American manufacturer that operated from 1901 to 1969, initially specializing in the production of locomotives but later diversifying and fabricating at various times diesel generators, automobiles, steel, tanks, munitions, oil-production equipment, as well as heat exchangers for nuclear power plants.
ALCO 18-251 V18 engine used as a backup generator at a wastewater plant in Montreal. The inline-6 designs of 800 hp (597 kW) version of the 251 engine replaced the 539 engine in 1954 in Alco's low-end line of power generation packages. The 244 engine was still used in higher-end power generation packages until it too was replaced by 251-engined ...
During the 1950s, EMD had become the major player in the North American diesel locomotive market, with Alco relegated to second place.

This engine was ...

Come to think of it, Canadian roads were the only ones to go with a four axle variant of the passenger C-liner (all others had a A1A rear truck combined with a ...
The Alco 244H engine is also known as the Alco 250 engine. This was done by Alco to disassociate the 250 from the troublesome 244 engine. The 250 was produced for a short time from 1955 into 1956. It was also used as a standard to rebuild older 244 engines at Schenectady. In 1949, in the midst of continued failures of 244 engines, ALCO ...
