Fairbanks Morse Coaling Stations – 1935 Catalog
This catalog was originally issued by Fairbanks, Morse & Co. in the mid-1930s, giving railway executives and engineering department officers an inventory of the type of steam locomotive coaling stations available from that firm. The publication’s utility today is to help explain to historians the technology of railway coaling stations of “modem” design and to provide model railroaders with accurate plans and photos for reconstructing these most visible remnants of the steam ase on American railways.
Fairbanks, Morse & Co. of Chicago was one of several large engineering companies that built railway coaling facilities, its primary competitors being Ogle Construction Co. and Roberts and Schaefer Co., both also of Chicago. (Also during this time, Fairbanks, Morse was a major manufacturer of railroad and other scales for weighing heavy loads. Best known is F-M’s brief entry into the railroad diesel locomotive market in the 1950s). Most concrete coal stations, as well as cinder conveyors seen in modem steam locomotive terminals, were built by one of these three companies. Ross & White Co. of Chicago and Howlett Construction Co. of Moline, Illinois, also constructed these types of facilities, but on a much smaller scale.
