[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by railpac Jim, your exactly right, crankshaft problems plagued the 244. However, (unfortunately) the 251 had some problems too, the majority of them just oil leaks in different areas, nothing that can't be endured. Just give 'em a little TLC and they'll just keep on working for you. [:D][;)] [/quote] Yes and the 241 also had some of the same problems. The 251 received much greater care and testing before being placed into service thus ensuring far fewer problems. Alco was excellent for having knowledgeable people in the field to assist the railroads with any problems they might have. Alco believed in trying its best to keep them runing after they left the factory.
