Modern Diesel Electric Built at Schenectady

This 6000 hp passenger diesel-electric locomotive is one of hundreds being built this year at the American Locomotive Company plant in Schenectady, NY. After a hundred years of building steam locomotives, Alco ended steam production a few months ago. All production is now for diesel-electrics at the plant where the nation's first diesel-electric was built in 1924. This particular locomotive shown here was built for the Southern Pacific Railroad.
