Additional Details

The company was a major producer of railroad cars. Consists largely of illustrations, including aerial views of the company's many factories in Detroit, Buffalo, and elsewhere by noted view painter Richard W. Rummell, and illustrations of dozens of car models (passenger and freight) with detailed descriptions. Two pages are devoted to the company's shipyard and architectural woodwork shop in Delaware. At the rear are railroad cars produced for export, with descriptions in English, French and Spanish.
