I'm telling you: It's a trick question![;)] Notice how he didn't say *turbo*, he said *trubo* charged diesel engine![:-,] I think Ford may have been the first locomotive builder to *introdue* a *trubo* charged diesel engine.[:o)]

I proofread my posts, but I'm still amazed at how many mistakes I make. Just ask Futuremodal![;)]

I still contend this is a trick question. It can't be so easy that even I know that the answer is Alco.
