The Richmond Locomotive Works was born out of the ashes of the
evacuation fires at the end of the Civil War. The company grew, despite
numerous financial and personnel difficulties, to become one of the
city's single-largest employers, an industrial behemoth that provided
livelihoods to thousands upon thousands of men over the course of its
existence. Over a span of sixty years, the facility produced thousands
of steam locomotives that traversed rails throughout the United States
and across the world.
