		He was later master mechanic ('the best master mechanic in the country') at the Schenectady Locomotive Works and was evidently the life and soul of that Company, becoming superintendent in 1852 and subsequently a vice-president.
		By 1887 he was Senior Designer at the Brooks Locomotive Works in Dunkirk in New Jersey, a firm with which he stayed until after it became the American Locomotive Co. In 1885 Brooks supplied the Pennsylvanai Railroad with a locomotive with Belpaire boiler: by 1892 Brooks was supplying Player/Belpaire boilers or Patent Belpaire boilers.
		Worked at Baldwin, Dickson and Schenectady prior to the Alco amalgamation.

	Montreal Locomotive Works - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1900, the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) headquartered in Schenectady, New York was formed by the merger of several struggling locomotive manufacturers.
		Through the 1960s, CN (MLW's largest diesel locomotive customer), continued to implement purchase policies drafted by its government owners which spread procurement among the manufacturers, although MLW began to see increased favour as it was located in the politically-important province of Quebec at a time of increased nationalism by Francophone citizens.
		MLW also continued to drive its locomotive research and development by introducing an early version of alternating current traction motor design with its 1984 demonstrator model M-640 for the Canadian Pacific Railway, although no other purchases were made.

		Eventually this work became its specialty, and, by 1862, demand for locomotive engines had increased to such an extent that the firm, now known as Neilson and Co., was able to lay out new especially adapted works on a site in Springburn, Glasgow, which was known as the Hyde Park Locomotive Works.
		Locomotive porduction increased again during World War II, and the company was recognized for its service to the country in 1942, but soon after the end of the war, demand for steam locomotives dwindled, and H. Porter became primarily a holding company for the many subsidiaries Evans had acquired.
		Locomotives continued to be successfully produced for the world market, although the First World War changed the emphasis of production for the duration of the war to gun shells and mountings, mine sweeping devices, caterpillar tractors and other war items.

	Steam Locomotive Builders
		American Locomotive Company (ALCO) was formed in 1901 when seven smaller locomotive builders merged with the Schenectady Locomotive Works (Schenectady, NY) in order to compete against the largest locomotive builder of the day, the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
		The American Locomotive Company was known for its steam locomotives of which the 4-6-4 Hudsons and the 4-8-4 Niagras built for the New York Central and the 4-6-6-4 Challengers and the 4-8-8-4 Big Boys it built for the Union Pacific were its finiest examples.
		William Woodard of Lima Locomotive Works experimented in increasing the grate area to greatly increase the steaming ability of the locomotive.

	The Evolution of the American Locomotive.--Scientific American Supplement
		By HERBERT T. illustrates the Sandusky, the first locomotive built at the famous Rogers Locomotive Works, Paterson, N. At that time the name of the firm was Rogers, Ketchum and Grosvenor, and its founder Thomas Rogers, designed this engine.
		Hudson, of the Rogers Locomotive Works, was one of the first to recognize the value of Bissell’s invention, and applied it to a locomotive in 1858.
		In these days of "continuous brakes," it seems remarkable that the early locomotives were absolutely without any retarding mechanism; and even down to the medieval period of railway history, the fastest English trains were run with only a hand brake on the tender, and a similar brake, worked by the guard, in the brake van.

	The History of Alco Locomotive #300 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Unfortunately, the locomotive, tender, and accompanying rails is now long gone, but the 10' by 50' concrete pad which supported the locomotive and tender is still in place.
		The locomotive was placed in the park in 1959, through the efforts of the late John J. Mueller who moved to Paragould in 1949 to establish a newpaper and publishing plant.
		Considering that the locomotive had sat unguarded and unprotected for so many years, I felt that we were very lucky that the brass plate had stayed in the proper hands, as had many other fixtures.

		Although the CandN actually used 2-8-0's built by Brooks Locomotive Works, this great little locomotive should serve the DandL just fine.
		Many railroads ran these odd looking contraptions as a means to maintain mail and passenger service during the depression.
		In the shops, we have several new locomotives: another Aristo-Craft C-16, a Bachman "Annie" 4-6-0 that will be lettered CandNWRR No. 1 (which was actually a 2-6-0), and a Bachman 2-6-0 that will be lettered Colorado Central No. 10, which ran on the CandN before they had their own motive power.
