Flexible burgundy-coloured paper boards decorative raised & embossed locomotive and lettering in gilt & silver black lettering on spine minor edgewear closed tear at lower front hinge minor sunning to spine still a VG- copy. First edition of this excellent catalogue touting the many different locomotive designs offered by Pennsylvania’s third largest locomotive producer at the beginning of the 20th Century whose most popular locomotives were the 0-4-0Ts and 0-6-0Ts better known as “Dinkies” which competed with Porter and the Davenport Locomotive Works. Due to their small size Vulcan Locomotives were especially popular with lumber mill and logging company operations as well as popular in foreign countries such as Britain France Italy German as well as Cuba Australia and Canada. The locomotives depicted here in the photos encompass such railroads as the A.C.B.F. Co. Berwick District Mattole Lumber Company Culver & Port Clinton RR Saint Louis Plantation Railroad Imperial Taiwan Railways and more. Founded originally in 1849 and incorporated in 1867 the Company initially produced mining machinery castings and forgings and by 1888 had acquired the Wyoming Valley Manufacturing Co. makers of locomotives which quickly became the majority of their business. Riding the industrial steel boom during World War I VIW quickly grew during the 1920’s and by the end of the 1920’s employed over 1600 employees manufacturing gasoline and diesel-electric locomotives and electric hoists. We could find no biographical information on C.W. Bowen but he was responsible for leading the VIW efforts to expand into the California market selling them State Belt #4 locomotive which was the first Vulcan to run on oil in 1911. The majority of the company’s factory negatives reside with the Hagley and four of these appear in their finding aid but the rest are not clearly listed.

First editions of this excellent small archive of very scarce original catalogues for the amazing array of workhorse industrial locomotives produced by the J.D. Fate and Fate-Root-Heath Co. from before World War I through the Great Depression. The Plymouth Locomotive Co. was originally launched as a joint venture as a gasoline truck builder from 1909-1915 and their first Friction Drive Locomotive was developed for the Bigelow Clay Co. in New London in 1912 leading to their entire line-up of industrial and narrow gauge switching engines as well as underground mining locomotives. The venture proved so successful they sold off the Plymouth Truck Co. badge to Chrysler in 1915 and focused primarily on locomotives. Their friction drive transmission was copied by other locomotive builders but they had perfected the concept and were able to operate their locomotives under a heavy load without sudden jerk sand speed was variable with no changing gears and could climb steeper grades than any other locomotive. The J.D. Fate Co. joined with their in-laws in 1919 to form the Fate-Root-Heath Co. which would later adopt the Plymouth Locomotives Co. label and would later shift from Ohio to Chicago IL as their main distribution hub. Their locomotives serviced logging operations lumber yards and sawmills across the Western United States as well as coal mining gold mining and other large mining operations for open pit as well as underground. Original individual catalogues are quite scarce and not one of these appear in institutional collections although the Hagley Museum Henry Ford and Smithsonian do contain smatterings of catalogues dating from 1920-1974.
