Alco FA-2s and FB-2s built with steam generators installed were designated FPA-2 and FPB-2. Only the Missouri Pacific, B&O, L&N, Lehigh Valley and some Mexican railroads had FP models built at the Schenectady plant. All other FPs were built by the Montreal Locomotive Works produced FA-2s and FB-2s under Alco specifications ME1600FA and ME1600FB. These were produced for Canadian National Railways, Canadian Pacific Railway, And National de Mexico in 1953-1955.
Montreal locomotive works also produced the FPA-4 and FPB-4, under Alco specifications DL218 and DL219. Not only were the engines uprated to 1,600-hp, car bodies were stretched to 54'0" (cab) and 53'2" (booster). These locomotives were built exclusively for Canadian National Railway.
The Mexican rail units are shown on the EXPORTs page.
June 4, 2011: B&O, L&N, Lehigh Valley FPA-2s added.
