The Loss of the Montreal Locomotive Works | When the New Ownership Ruins You | History in the Dark

Montreal Locomotive Works, despite spending only a little over two decades as an independent company, distinguished themselves as experts in the manufacture of locomotives. Even into the age of diesels, they were able to continue to remain competitive as their first owners, ALCO, went under. MLW changed hands a few times, but their last owners, Bombardier, would bring about their end despite a consistent history of well-crafted products.

"Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) was a Canadian railway locomotive manufacturer which existed under several names from 1883 to 1985, producing both steam and diesel locomotives. For a number of years it was a subsidiary of the American Locomotive Company. MLW's headquarters and manufacturing facilities were in Montreal, Quebec."
