Photograph of a steam engine locomotive, shown in profile, pulling one car. This print, in its original mat and hardwood frame, was issued as an advertisement for the American Locomotive Company, presumably for a locomotive used on a New York City line.

The American Locomotive Company (ALCO) was created in 1901 by a merger of seven smaller locomotive manufacturers, and was for decades the second largest builder of locomotives in the U.S., mostly steam locomotives, but also began producing diesel models in the 1920s. It was headquartered in Schenectady, New York, until the company closed doors in 1969.
