American Car & Foundry Company

This sweeping view of the work and products of American Car & Foundry celebrates the companys Centennial in 1999. Author Kaminski covers corporate history and product development, but emphasizes the immense variety and extent of railcar production over the past century. More than 1200 photographs, most from the files of the builder and few ever published, make this a superb tour of car designs, railroad and private owners, and production of freight, passenger, and other car types.
