ALCO Century 855
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The ALCO Century 855 was ALCO's most powerful diesel locomotive. A double-engine unit with 5500 horsepower (4.1 MW), it was ALCO's answer to the EMD DDA40X and GE U50. Only two A-units and one B-unit were built, all for Union Pacific, which had requested double-engined locomotives from EMD and GE as well.
