GN Electric for sale (sorry, 1940s)
Posted by 081552 on Monday, February 13, 2012 5:19 PM

I purchased a collection of flyers from the Transit Equipment Company from the 1940s (?) showing streetcars, interurbans, and electric locomotives. 

Does anyone have any information on this old company?

Thanks!

Transit Equipment Company advertised in what was originally the Street Railway Journal. As you may have surmised, they acted as a used equipment dealer.

The locomotives shown were originally built for the Spokane & Inland Empire, being one of Baldwin-Westinghouse's showcases for single phase AC interurbans.
