A Little Bit of History
The ALCO DL-109 was one of six models of A1A-A1A Diesel locomotives built to haul passenger
trains by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) between December, 1939 and April, 1945
(“DL” stands for Diesel Locomotive). They were of a cab unit design, and both cab-equipped lead
A units DL-103b, DL-105, DL-107, DL-109 and cabless booster B units DL-108, DL-110 models
were built. The units were styled by noted industrial designer Otto Kuhler, who incorporated into
his characteristic cab (US Patent D121,219) the trademark three-piece windshield design. A total
of 74 cab units and four cabless booster units were built.

How to Drive
The ALCo DL 109 is easy to drive. Once in game, the engine is ON by default. To
start moving it do the following steps:
1) Set the Reverser forwards or backwards.
2) Release Loco brake if the locomotive is light or Train brake if the locomotive is
coupled to a consist.
3) Move up the Throttle. Depending on the consist it might need more power to
move the train.
4) Use brakes levers to stop the train. Loco brake if you are operating a light engine
or Train brake if you are operating a consist.
To operate the train with simple controls is even easier. You only have to worry
about two controls. Reverser button and Throttle/brake lever. Reverser is usually
set to forwards and can be changed with a single click on it. To move the train just
move up the Throttle/Brake lever from the brake area, the bottom half, to the power
area, the top half. Move it down to the brake area to stop the train.
