Speaking of Communist engines, there was at least one DF (Dong Feng) survived and still working in 2016:
This is a 1800hp (10L207E engine) DF3, shared the same body style with DF. I found these “USSR breed” of diesel engines quite attractive.
Well if the Rooshians could reverse-engineer a B-29 an F-M diesel engine would have been an easy job for them.
Andrei Tupolev wanted to design a four-engine heavy bomber of his own but Stalin wanted a B-29 clone. Goes without saying you just didn’t say “No!” to Stalin!
I was under the impression that a batch of White Pass and Yukon DL-535s was started at Schenectady but the incomplete shells were moved to Montreal for completion.
Interestingly, the locomotives supplied to Myanmar in 2018, mentioned by NorthWest, fifty years later, were also DL-535s.

I thought I’d do a quick survey of Alco Roadswitchers.
A really rough check suggested there were about 5000 built in North America not counting M630 and M636 (I was using an old reference)…
Looking just at the Indian built DL-560 variants:
WDM-2 = 2700
WDM-3A = 3140
WDM-3D = 590
WDG-2 = 1163
WDP-3A = 44 Total 7637
The DL-560s are all 16 cylinder units rated between 2600 and 3100 HP.
Now for the Fairbanks Morse…
(Incidentally, 207mm = 8-1/8", hence the Chinese 10L207 designation)
Looking at the Russian locomotives with the blower engine, Classes TE-3 and TE-7
13, 600 units (at least)
Looking at the turbocharged units (3000 HP), Class TE-10
19183 units…
There would have been several hundred in China at least…
Off the top of my head there were around 30000 EMDs with 567 engines…
But he certainly had the last laugh with the Tu-95, probably the best propeller-driven bomber ever made. Certainly the one with the best propulsion.
From M636C " I was under the impression that a batch of White Pass and Yukon DL-535s was started at Schenectady but the incomplete shells were moved to Montreal for completion
Good point. So the T-6 is the last complete built and the WP&Y shells the last new loco out of the factory locomotive but incomplete and shipped to their retreat position in Montreal.
