- Manchester Locomotive Works
-
Manchester Locomotive Works was a manufacturing company located in Manchester, New Hampshire, that built steam locomotives in the 19th century. The first locomotive they built was for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad in March 1855.[1] In 1901, Manchester and seven other locomotive manufacturing firms merged to form American Locomotive Company (ALCO). Locomotive production ceased in 1913.
The Manchester Locomotive Works took over the building of the Amoskeag Steam Fire Engine from the Amoskeag Works in 1876.
