The Diesel Locomotive Works in Varanasi, India, are a major manufacturer of locomotives in India. Founded in 1961, the company rolled out its first locomotive three years later, on January 3, 1964. They supply a large variety of locomotives to the Indian Railways, mostly diesel-electric locomotives. They also export to other countries, such as the neighbouring countries of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, but also to Tanzania or Vietnam.
The manufacture locomotives which are based on the Original ALCO design dating to 1960's and also manufacture locos which are based on the GM EMD Design ( 1990's). They manufacture locomotives with power output ranging from 2600 Hp to 4000 hp.
The Lima LocomotiveWorks played a large part in Lima's history and is remembered fondly by many of her citizens.
The period of high profits and expansion did not last for the Lima LocomotiveWorks, in 1912 when the loco plant was in need of cash for expansion projects many of the side ventures begun before had to be sold off to help pay for improvements.
While locomotives are no longer made in Lima fans of steam locomotives and those who remember the days when steam power allowed this country to function will remember the Lima LocomotiveWorks and what was accomplished there.
