Thank you, Hot Water and Rusty Traque! That was what I thought was the case, as I found nothing to the contrary wherever I looked. Thanks again. Don Francis
mark s posted:White Motor Corporation (maker of White Trucks and Farm Equipment) bought Alco's marine engine business in 1970. Perhaps some Alcos are still working out on the waters?
That's an interesting point. Try looking up maritime brokerage sites - search for USA-built offshore service vessels. Amongst all the EMD and Cummins main engines you'll find plenty of Alcos.
Fairbanks-Morse OP engines still have a marine presence also, with multiple FM units running in some Great Lakes freighters until a few years back.
