Step 1: Search for company names

Enter RAILROAD company name    

This database lists certificates issued by railroads, locomotive builders, car builders, and closely-related companies.

Companies in industries such as utilities, logging, tunneling, stockyards, bridging, and real estate are considered "off-topic."

Suggestions when searching

  • Avoid spelling errors and find results faster by entering word fragments. For example, enter "york cent huds" instead of "New York Central & Hudson River Rail Road Company".
  • Word fragments are   A-L-W-A-Y-S   better than whole words.
  • The order of words does not matter.
  • Punctuation is NOT necessary.
  • Articles such as the, of, and, el, del, la, and los are NOT necessary.
  • See more Hints for searching the database.
  • Use the search term "blank" if searching for blank, generic certificates used for railroad certificates
