Ranked
as possibly one of the most exotic diesel locomotives, the
DL-109 was powered by two 1000 horsepower, six cylinder Model
539 diesel engines. This locomotive was introduced as Alco’s
first streamlined cab locomotive and was designed by the noted
industrial designer Otto Kuhler.
Seven American railroads received 74 cab units and 4 boosters
from 1940 to 1945. The roads included: New Haven (60 units),
Southern (6 units), Rock Island (4 units), Gulf, Mobile &
Ohio (3 units), Milwaukee Road (2 units), Santa Fe (2 units),
and Chicago & North Western (1 unit).
During WWII, the War Production Board placed
heavy restrictions on Alco passenger locomotive production.
However, New Haven was granted an exemption by the Board to
acquire 60 units for around the clock duty. The streamlined
DL-109 workhorses pulled passenger trains by day and freight
trains by night. By the end of WWII, Alco had retired the
DL-109 in favor of its new passenger locomotive, the PA. Setting
the standard for future locomotives, the DL-109 was a hallmark
in the production of early passenger diesels, and its unique
styling has earned it a place in the hearts of many railfans.
