Cooke Locomotive and Machine Works
The Cooke Locomotive and Machine Works, located in Paterson, New Jersey, manufactured steam railroad locomotives from 1852 until it was merged with seven other manufacturers to form American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in 1901. ALCO continued building new locomotives at the Cooke plant until 1926.
History
Cooke opened in 1852 as Danforth-Cooke and produced nearly 3000 locomotives before ALCO closed the plant in 1926.
In 1901, Cooke and several other locomotive manufacturers are merged to form the American Locomotive Company; Cooke's plant becomes the Alco-Cooke Works.
