Description

The American Locomotive Company - A Centennial Remembrance is a 200-year history of a great American enterprise. For 150 years the American Locomotive Company and its predecessors and successors developed and manufactured heavy industrial products of great distinction. The centerpiece of this enterprise was the production of locomotives for the Nation's, and World's railroads. The rise and fall of the American Locomotive Company mirrors that of America's Industrial Age. Formed from eight 19th Century locomotive builders during an age of "trusts" and giant mergers underwritten by the Country's greatest financiers, ALCO expanded further by acquisition of two additional locomotive builders and of other manufacturers in related and unrelated businesses. This book analyzes in detail the business implications and technical accomplishments of ALCO's progression. The American Locomotive Company - A Centennial Remembrance should be of great interest to historians, railroad enthusiasts, and members of the community interested in finding out about what happened inside ALCO and why. Contains more then 1000 photographs, illustrations and diagrams. Hardcover; ALCO Collection
