The diesel-electric locomotive is a relatively new type of motive power compared with the steam locomotive, which was developed over the past 125 years. The economic useful life of the diesel has heretofore been, because of its newness in the field, a matter of conjecture. Sufficient time has now elapsed since diesel power was first introduced on American railroads, and sufficient data are now available to allow a more accurate appraisal of its economic useful life. PURPOSE OF STUDY The purpose of our study was to determine and report upon the economic useful life of diesel-electric locomotives by an evaluation of all data pertinent thereto.
