Struggling to compete with GM's dominance, ALCO introduced its first diesel locomotive. the FA-1 in 1945. ALCO realized that there was a tremendous demand to satisfy from the railroads phasing out steam power. The unit was designed as a dual purpose locomotive suitable for freight & passenger service.
