[edit] Alco vs. ALCO vs. ALCo
Every reference that I've seen for the shortened company name uses either "Alco" or "ALCO". Please provide a reputable reference before changing the shortened name to "ALCo" again. slambo 12:02, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
- I can't personally recall seeing it as ALCo in official company documentation. ALCO more common earlier on, Alco more common later, I feel, but both seem officially valid. I think ALCo is (more common as) a railfan affectation. Matthew Brown 14:15, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
I beleive either spelling is correct, ALCO, because its an Acrynym, ALCo, because it is the American Locomotive Company, Co meaning Company, Alco, because it has become a word in railfan jargon. Alexander101010 20:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
