John F. Campbell's

ALCo-GE-IR Boxcabs Pages

Three manufacturers, ALCo, General Electric, and Ingersoll-Rand, came together under agreement to build the first production run of Diesel powered railroad engines in North America. These units were initially termed Oil-Electric Locomotives. At a later date this consortium acquired the acronym AGEIR, which is used today when indicating the builder of all locomotives constructed by this group's joint procedures.

This prototype demonstrator oil-electric locomotive #8835 which GE and Ingersoll-Rand produced weighed in at 60 tons and was "fired up" and operated for the first time on 17 Dec 1923, with finishing touches and testing continued until 28 Feb 1924, when the first public demonstration was held at the Phillipsburg, New Jersey, plant of Ingersoll-Rand.

First AGEIR Series-Production Oil-Electric Demonstrator Locomotive #9681, GE Class B-B-120/120-0-4HN840G, Jul 1925, which was tested extensively and then bought by CNJ as their #1000, the first operational series-production diesel-electric locomotive.

AGEIR 100 Ton 600 horsepower Locomotive Built For the Long Island Rail Road as their #401
