AGEIR Diesel Locomotive Roster
PAGE ONE

[05 Mar 2005 source data (may not be latest) - transcribed 15 Jun 2006 by SB,III]

AGEIR-built Oil-electric Diesel-electric locomotives began with ALCO issuing a "Stock Order" from their Schenectady New York Works for one or more 60 ton or 100 ton units and provided the fabricated steel mechanical assemblies to General Electric at the Erie Pennsylvania Works.jc-ageir Ingersoll-Rand produced the modified PR Rathbun 300 horsepower Diesel power plants and then shipped them to the Erie Works also.jc-ageir General Electric completed each locomotive and with some exceptions delivered them on their own power to the Ingersoll-Rand facilities at Phillipsburg New Jersey.jc-ageir Ingersoll-Rand was responsible for marketing and sales and would test and often demonstrate the completed locomotives prior to delivering them to the customer.jc-ageir AGEIR Diesel-electric locomotives were assigned both ALCO and GE Builders Numbers and the following Roster will (for the most part) follow the chronology of ALCO "Stock Orders" processed...
