About

Alco, short for the American Locomotive Company, was primarily known for its production of locomotives rather than automobiles. Founded in 1901 and headquartered in Schenectady, New York, Alco was a prominent manufacturer of steam, diesel, and electric locomotives. While Alco focused on locomotive production, the company did venture into the automobile industry for a brief period. In the early 1900s, Alco produced a limited number of automobiles under the Alco brand. These vehicles were luxury cars designed to compete with other high-end automobile manufacturers of the time.
