Description
Diesel Locomotive for Multiple Unit Operation. Same as model 37610, but with a different locomotive number. Can ONLY be operated together with 37610. Matching Loc is :37610 Source: www.maerklin.de ALCO PA Some things are remembered long after their natural lives have passed - they are history. This applies particularly to the American Locomotive Companys (ALCo) PA locomotive. Standing for passenger A-unit with an engineers cab, the PA was introduced in 1946, and became an immediate success with the new deluxe trains. Although a competing locomotive manufacturer sold more passenger units overall, this sleek, powerful design and the PAs modern, powerful technology quickly found the hearts of railroad employees and passengers. The PA was used on almost all of the main lines in the United States, but their greatest presence was in the Southwest. Particularly well known were the bright yellow Union Pacific PAs and the classic silver and red of the Santa Fe, but also the Daylight version of the Southern Pacific in orange and red. In the Southeast, Southern Railways PAs worked a train by the name of the Pelican. In the northeastern United States, the elegant gray tones of the New York Centrals PAs matched the passenger cars of the same color which they pulled, thus forming a complete picture. In conjunction with the name trains, the striking, harmonious shape of the PA formed an ideal combination of powerful technology and aesthetic design. Railroad crews favored the PA because of its smooth ride and the safety provided by the long nose and sturdy superstructure. The rhythmic, full sound of the 4-stroke diesel motors, which these diesels made while accelerating, was incomparable among railroad experts. The fans named the PA an Honorary Steam Locomotive because of a peculiarity of the ALCo 244 diesel prime mover when starting up. Until the fuel started burning completely, thick clouds of black smoke would pour from the exhaust stacks, and then the PA would roar off. While the ElectroMotive Diesel E unit had been a continuation of passenger locomotive development dating back to the 1930s, the PA was a development born of post-war optimism toward the future of railroad passenger service.
