fairbanks-morse

Fairbanks-Morse, located in Beloit, Wisconsin, manufactures diesel engines. For a while, the company also built railroad locomotives.

Railroad locomotives

During the great transition era on American railroads (the late 1940s through the early 1960s), Fairbanks-Morse built diesel locomotives to replace the steam locomotives that nearly every railroad in the country was scrapping. The locomotives used the company's opposed piston design for the locomotive's prime mover, and featured distinctive body styles. See List of Fairbanks-Morse locomotives for a full list of locomotive models. Among the best known of FM's diesel locomotives were the Trainmaster and Consolidated line series of locomotives. The Virginian Railway was an early adopter of FM power, buying the company's products to the exclusion of other manufacturers like EMD and Baldwin. F-M design locomotives were also produced under licence in Canada by the Canadian Locomotive Company.

Seagoing diesel engines

Fairbanks-Morse diesel engines are widely used in United States Navy vessels.
