Where is some information on Griffin Wheel Co?

Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, April 4, 2004 1:51 PM

Hi! While reading the Ask Trains section in the Trains Magazine that arrived yesterday, I noticed a question about wheel sizes. The answer had the sizes of the wheels by Griffin Wheel. I wouldn't have noticed that if I hadn't been simulating a siding called Griffin Wheel on the outskirts of West Chicago Yard that very morning! So, I am wondering, is this the main factory or just a distributer?

I wouldn't think it would be the factory, In the several years I've lived here, I've only seen I flatcar with wheels!

Griffin wheel has had plants& foundries in at least Chicago, St.Louis (empty now alongside I-70 near downtown) and Colton, CA....

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west
