	A Brief History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		However, the company's principals felt that the manufacture of locomotives in the early and important railroad center bounded by the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers could flourish, and in May, 1851, the Schenectady Locomotive Works was formed.
		However, it was customary to regard the Schenectady Works as the senior component due to its role as headquarters.
		In 1929 this was followed by the first diesel-electric passenger locomotive, the NY Central's #1550, which was also the first successful road locomotive using this type of propulsion.

	List of locomotive builders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a list of the world's locomotive builders by country, and is still a work in progress.
		Commercial locomotive builders were called upon when requirements exceeded the railway works' capacity, but these orders were generally to the railways' own designs.
		British-built locomotives were exported around the world, especially to the current or former British Empire.

		The works having been underwritten by subscription, a second meeting was called for the Givens Hotel on January 15, 1848, and five men were elected trustees to manage the affairs of the new company: D. Campbell, John Ellis, Simon C. Groot, Platt Potter and J. Wright.
		On May 26, 1851, a new company, known as the Schenectady Locomotive Works, was formed and the properties were bought for about half of their original cost by those who invested in the original project.
		Eighty-four locomotives were completed at the Works during the war period from 1861 to 1863, all of these for Government use.

	The Evolution of the American Locomotive.--Scientific American Supplement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		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.

		Along with 2-8-0's 870 and 874, 769 was sent to work at the coal mine at Madrid, NM, located at the end of a branch extending south from the Santa Fe main at Waldo.
		Locomotives 769 and 870 were abandoned on-site and left to rust.
		Locomotive 769 was cosmetically restored and incorporated into the " Old Coal Mine Museum," ironically just a few years after the last pieces of the original mine tipple were demolished.

	HOW A LOCOMOTIVE IS BUILT — 1907--Baldwin Locomotive Works (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The steam-engines which aid them in their work have the power of 12,138 horses; the electric-motors, that of 14,200; the oil-engines, that of 4,850—a total equal to the power of 31,188 horses, or of twice the number of mounts used by all of the cavalrymen and mounted officers of our army.
		For modern Vauclain compound locomotives, the high and low pressure cylinders and steam chest for one side are cast together with half the "'saddle"—the forked support of the boiler.
		At the final destination he is met by one of the corps of expert locomotive engineers regularly employed by the Baldwin works, and this new custodian stays with the engine on the purchasing road until it gives perfect satisfaction.

	Steamtown NHS: Special History Study
		However, the locomotive's official records had been destroyed in a roundhouse fire on the Canadian National, and Blount could not document the condition of its flues, so the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the locomotive retired until it could either be documented or be reflued.
		Furthermore, as this locomotive and sisters of her class predate by the better part of a decade the one American 4-6-4T built in 1922 and the six built in 1923, it seems likely that they influenced the design of the American locomotives.
		The NPS should commission a report on the subject of this locomotive; the report should be exhaustively researched in the Montreal region to ascertain what changes in appearance and fabric may have taken place over the career of this locomotive.

	American Locomotive Company - InformationBlast
		ALCO was known for its steam locomotives of which the 4-6-4 Hudson and the 4-8-4 Niagara built for the New York Central and the 4-6-6-4 (Challenger) built for the Union Pacific Railroad were fine examples.
		This locomotive was sold to the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and subsequent locomotives were built for a number of railroads including the Long Island Rail Road and the Chicago and Northwestern Railway.
		After the termination of locomotive production in 1969, the locomotive designs (but not the engine development rights) were sold to the Montreal Locomotive Works, who continued their manufacture.

	British locomotive manufacturers
		The locomotive was driven by belts and pulleys and was the invention of William Vickers.
		Locomotives were manufactured from 1818 to 1919 when the Britannia Engineering Works became Kilmarnock Engineering Co. Tramway locomotives were supplied to the Schull and Skibbereen Light Railway, the Sutton and Alford Tramway, the Penang Tramways and to the North London Tramways.
		Locomotive building began in 1865 and in Engineering for 9 March 1867 it was noted that an 0-4-0ST was exhibited in 1867 by which time "160 locomotives had been constructed to a variety of gauges", but Lowe rightly queried this assertion.

	Builders_1
		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.

		Taunton Locomotive Works (Taunton Locomotive Manufacturing Company) was built 1846 in Taunton, Massachusetts.
		“Crocker, Samuel Leonard, representative, was born in Taunton, Mass., March 31, 1804; son of William Augustus and Sally (Ingalls) Richmond Creeker; grandson of Josiah, and great-grandson of the Rev. Josiah Crocker, the sixth minister of Taunton.
		Crocker's Preface explains his endorsement of the Dimpfel boiler, which is "adapted to the use of bituminous or anthracite coal or wood." Crocker was evidently president of the Taunton Locomotive Manufacturing Co. The text provides much technical information on the functioning of locomotives.

		He began his business career with the Richmond Locomotive Works of Virginia, and in 1901 went to the American Locomotive Company.
		Fisher’s devotion to the Sons of Confederate Veterans was evidenced by the fact that he attended all of the General Confederate Reunions, and was recognized throughout the South as one of the great leaders of their cause.
		He gave unsparingly of his time and resources to preserve the memories of the cause for which his father fought, and that cause was to him a constant source of inspiration for better work toward a reunited country.

		This locomotive was sold to the Central of New Jersey, and subsequent locomotives were built for a number of railroads including the Long Island Rail Road and the Chicago and North-Western Railroad.
		Also a factor was that Alco's diesel locomotives were competing with their own steam locomotive products, while EMD had no such problem.
