How One Submarine Engine Destroyed Fairbanks-Morse Locomotives
Fairbanks-Morse once built the engines that powered most of America’s submarine fleet through World War II. Then the company brought that same opposed-piston technology onto the railroad, creating some of the most powerful diesel locomotives ever seen. On paper, the machines looked unstoppable. But once they left the controlled world of submarines and entered the dirt, vibration, and brutal maintenance culture of American railroads, the legend began to crack. This is the story of how a wartime engineering miracle became one of the most fascinating failures in locomotive history. #FairbanksMorse #TrainMaster #LocomotiveHistory
