Railroad Manufacturers
We have mentioned a number of companies that have manufactured or are manufacturing locomotives in the United States. World-wide, hundreds of companies have built locomotives of various types and sizes (see Locomotive Builders). Well-known U.S.A. companies included Baldwin Locomotive Works, American Locomotive Company (ALCO), Lima Locomotive Works, and Altoona Works, all of which built locomotives not only for domestic applications but for use in other countries as well. Several specialty manufacturers, such as Climax Manufacturing Company of Corry, Pennsylvania and Lima Locomotive Works of Lima Ohio, built locomotives for logging, mining and other applications. These and many other locomotive builders are now all defunct.
Among U.S.A. companies still in operation are NS Juniata Locomotive Shop, Wabtec, Fairbanks-Morse and Progress Rail (doing business as Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD)). The following two tables present a selected list of railroad manufacturers around the world.
