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.

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!
