American Locomotive Company was a locomotive building company that produced both steam and diesel electric engines. Being started as the Schenectady Locomotive Engine Manufactory, it merged with seven other locomotive builders and was then dubbed American Locomotive Company. In 1924, ALCO Produced their first diesel unit. They continued to produce them up but starting 1955, their choice of locomotive was becoming unsuccessful and stopped locomotive production before merging with Worthington Corperation(soon to merge with Studebaker). As said in wikipedia their locomotive plans and designs were given to Montreal Loco Works, who would continue to produce locomotives even after merging with Bombardier.
