The locomotives you mentioned all had one thing in common, they had less power than the EMD DDA40X.
The Alco 855 (4101kW) was built in 1964 but never mass-produced, there were only 2 (3) locomotives that were scrapped in 1972.
The DD35(A) with 3730kW was the predecessor of this locomotive, built in 1963/64.
The U50 (3700kW) was also introduced in 1963/64, the improved U50C was introduced together with the DDA40X. Due to many defects, all U50s, including C, were taken out of service just 5 years after delivery of the C Version, namely in 1976.

In the late 1960s, there are more powerful Diesel Locomotives, With the introduction of the GE U50s, EMD DD35 A & B units and ALCO Century 855 models for the Union Pacific Railroad.

@oldscout Done, take a look in the ingame menu / screenshots. Have fun!

I will do a little update. After that you can change that in the loadingmenu.

I love your mod, and would love to change it so that the engine never goes away after 1989. Can you tell me how to make that change in your mod files? I've been digging through your mod files, and the only place I can find 1989 is in the strings.lua file, and changing those dates don't make a difference.

On my current map I have all my big coal trains using this engine, and now unfortunately it's 1992, and I can't add another one.
