WESTINGHOUSE DIESEL-ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES
Early examples were built in partnership with William Beardmore and Company (Beardmore) of Glasgow, Scotland. Diesels were called "oil electrics" at the time.

In addition, Westinghouse produced and supplied electrical and traction equipment for Baldwin diesel locomotives from 1939 to 1955 and Lima-Hamilton diesels from 1949-1951 until production at Lima, Ohio ended with the merger into Baldwin. Fairbanks-Morse diesels also used Westinghouse electrical and traction equipment.
