Whatever happened to ---------ALCO?

[Bill H.]

American Locomotive Company (ALCo)

American Locomotive Company was one of the steam locomotive
builders in the country, and gradually switched over to diesels.
The name of the company was changed to Alco in 1956. Alco's
name and assets were acquired by Worthington in 1964, and
Worthington merged with Studebaker Studebaker-Worthington in
1967. Alco quit building locomotives in 1969. Alco's longtime
subsidiary Montreal Locomotive Works purchased the rights to Alco
designs in 1969. MLW was sold to Bombardier Company in 1979.
All Alco rights were eventually sold to GE, and then to Fairbanks-Morse
(Coltec) in 1997. In 1998 Coltec sold the locomotive parts business
and locomotive rights to National Railway Equipment (NRE), but
Coltec retains the rights to the Alco engines themselves. Later in
1998 NRE and Coltec/F-M formed Alco Locomotive Company, a new
business intended to market all Alco spare parts (both new
and reconditioned), and rebuilt Alco locomotives.
