The ALCO Century Series That Failed to Silence GE and EMD

In this video, we cover the rise and fall of ALCO's Century Series locomotives — the last-ditch effort from America's oldest locomotive builder to fight off EMD and General Electric. We break down how one rushed engine destroyed ALCO's reputation for decades, why the Century Series was technically ahead of its competition with the first AC transmission in a production diesel, and how the monstrous 5,500-horsepower C855 became one of railroading's greatest failures. But here's the part nobody talks about — what happened to ALCO's engine after the factory closed might surprise you. #ALCO #Locomotives #DieselLocomotive #TrainHistory #EMD #GeneralElectric #CenturySeries #RailroadHistory #EngineeringHistory #AmericanIndustry
