I am wondering if anyone has a source of information on the FItzhugh Luther Company of Chicago. They may also have gone by Fitzhugh Luther & Company or Fitzhugh Luther Locomotive Company.

It appears that they were a second hand equipment dealer from around 1903 to 1913. Mr. Luther was the son in law of a PRR executive of some type. They started out dealing in Narrow Gauge locomotives, but moved into standard gauge locos, cars, steam shovels and other trolley/electrical equipment. At one point they seemed to have a car repair shop of sorts in New Jersey with 20 employees. A NY Times article from 12/16/1903 stated that the FLC purchased the plant of the United States Locomotive Company in Hammond Indiana with the intent to reactivate the plant.

Does any one have any rosters of the used equipment they dealt with?

Any other info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat Connors
