The GE Engine That Buried Alco for Good
#vintagemachines #vintagedieselengines #vintagengines #vintageamericanmachines #vintageamericanengines The GE 7FDL engine transformed General Electric from an underdog into the dominant force in North American railroading. When Alco collapsed and EMD ruled the market, GE stepped in with the rugged 7FDL16. From the groundbreaking U25B in 1959 to the Dash 9s that thundered across America in the 1990s, this prime mover powered GE’s rise to the top. In this video, we explore the history, design, and legacy of the 7FDL — the engine that silenced Alco and redefined freight rail. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE ➡ / @themechanicalside For business enquiries, send us an email at [email protected] 👉 Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more high quality content Disclaimer - Some Contents Are Used For Educational Purpose Under Fair Use.
