Vulcan Iron Works, based in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, manufactured railroad locomotives. The company was established in 1849 by Richard Jones, and ceased operation in 1954. Vulcan produced its first internal combustion locomotive in the 1920s; a total of 54 diesel-electric switcher units (each weighing 25 tons or more, including a 70-ton B-B unit built for Carnegie Steel Company in 1944, the company's largest) came out of Vulcan's shops between 1938 and 1954.
