Diagram of Priestman oil engine from The Steam engine and gas and oil engines (1900) by John Perry Petrol–electric Weitzer railmotor, first 1903, series 1906. The earliest recorded example of the use of an internal combustion engine in a railway locomotive is the prototype designed by William Dent Priestman, which was examined by William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin in 1888 who described it as ...
The ALCO RS-2 is a 1,500–1,600 horsepower (1,100–1,200 kW) B-B diesel-electric locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) from 1946 to 1950. ALCO introduced the model after World War II as an improvement on the ALCO RS-1. [2] Between 1946 and 1950, 377 examples of the RS-2 were built, primarily for American and Canadian ...

The 12 and 16 cylinder variants were 60 degree V type engines. They powered early Electro-Motive Corporation (another GM subsidiary) diesel locomotives and U.S. Navy submarines. In 1934 an 8-cylinder, 600-horsepower (447 kW), 8-201A diesel engine powered the first American diesel-powered train, the Burlington Zephyr streamliner passenger train.
Currently, the Army at Fort Eustis has only three active locomotives: two 120-ton diesels (No. 1880, a GP10, and No. 4635, a GP16, both second-hand road switchers) used to train students at the Transportation School and a GE 80-ton diesel (No. 1663) used at the T-school shop. [3]

In October 2010, Caterpillar announced it was investing US$50 million to acquire and to renovate an existing 740,000-square-foot (69,000 m 2) building for assembly of EMD brand locomotives and to build a locomotive test track on a 75-acre (0.30 km 2) site located in Muncie, Indiana. The Muncie facility allows EMD to supply locomotives to ...
The ALCO RS-27 (specification DL-640) was a diesel-electric locomotive built by ALCO between December 1959 and October 1962. Only 27 examples were manufactured. [ 1 ] With ALCO's introduction of the Century Series line in 1963, the C-424 (specification DL-640A) replaced the RS-27 in the builder's catalog.
