Who built the first dieselelectric engine at the United States ???? <br /> <br />ALCo ? No ! <br />Baldwin ? No ! <br />EMC ? No ! <br />EMD ? No ! <br /> <br />Yes, it was GE in 1917 - near 20 years befor the creating of EMD !!! And in the 20´s as part of AGEIR (ALCo / GE / INGERSOLL-RAND). <br /> <br />Most of the older EMD engines, also the ALCo´s, are equipped with electric components build by GE. I think all exept only one EMD DD 35 had traction motors built by GE! <br /> <br />This topic is 100 % a discussion about personal preferences. <br /> <br />One prefer Alco, the second EMD, and the third GE. - It´s the same with the roads. <br />UP against BNSF or N&W against WP. <br /> <br />You will never find a goal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <br /> <br />
