This very impressive cutaway of
the front end of an American Locomotive Company (ALCO) Model 244
diesel engine with an air-cooled General Electric turbocharger
is on display at the New York Museum of Transportation in Rush,
NY, near Rochester. The level of complexity of this cutaway is
very impressive, and it may have been done by ALCO for training
use. The Model 244 engine was replaced in the ALCO product line
by the Model 251 in the early 1950s. The cutaway EMD 567B engine
to the right of the ALCO 244 is shown on our EMD cutaway engine
page.

This sectioned front end of a Diesel
engine is featured as a floor display at the Golden Age of Trucking
Museum in Middlebury, Connecticut. This is the simplest type of
cutaway, a straight cut right across the center of the engine,
and it does a very effective job of showing the working parts.
The engine was modified by high school students in the Diesel
Department of Howell Cheney Vocational Technical School located
in Manchester, Connecticut. They donated the engine to the museum
in 2005 and the director of the museum points out that three of
the ten students were girls!
We are sorry to have to note that the Golden Age of Trucking Museum
recently announced that it is closing. We do not know when or
if it will be open again. This is very unfortunate, as it was
one of the finest museums of its type and had many excellent displays
and community minded features that made is an outstanding institution.
