OverviewAfter seeing the success of EMD's E-8s, ALCO poured their post-war energies into developing a new passenger diesel. The result was the 2000 horsepower PA, introduced in 1946 and powered by a single General Electric 16-cylinder 244 engine. Like EMD's trend-setting diesels, the PA was designed to be used in combination, as many units as were needed to pull a given train. The ABA configuration was popular and elegant because of the way it enhanced the engine's long, sleek appearance. It was GE's industrial designer Ray Stevenson who won a contest to design the striking engine. With its long, clean lines, Stevenson's entry made the perfect canvas for the beautiful streamlined style and colorful paint schemes popular in the mid-twentieth century. M.T.H. is proud to offer the stylish ALCO PA ABA configuration in the markings of four railroads that knew how to take advantage of the PA's great looks: Delaware & Hudson, Denver Rio Grande, Erie Lackawanna, and New Haven. Did You Know? The ALCO PA was the first locomotive to use circuit breakers instead of fuses.
