N P3 Alco PA Diesel Erie #861/blk&yel
History:
The American Locomotive Company introduced the PA1 locomotive in 1946
to compete with EMD’s successful “E” Series passenger
diesels. The first PA1 celebrated Alco’s 75,000th loco to
roll out of the erecting shop. This attractive 2000HP loco
was their high-speed passenger diesel. Having more horsepower
than their leading competitor, Alco felt that they had a fleet-ready
competitive product. PA1’s were sleek, stylish, powerful, and
were very well suited for America’s passenger and fast freight
trains. Additionally, their 65’8″ bodies became excellent
billboard advertising for the railroads that they served with pride.
