Duluth, Red Wing and Southern Railroad coach car

Description:	Photograph of a new coach car built by the Ohio Falls Car Manufacturing Company, Clarksville, Ind., for the Duluth, Red Wing and Southern Railroad. The car is sitting at the factory facilities with plant buildings in the background. The firm began in 1864 as the Ohio Falls Car and Locomotive Co., manufacturing rail cars. In 1876 the company was reorganized as the Ohio Falls Car Manufacturing Company, producing coach, parlor, baggage, mail, and private cars. In 1899 the company was one of thirteen independent railroad car builders that merged to form the American Car and Foundry Company. During World War I the company produced military items such helmets, wagons, tables, and cots. The works closed in 1933, a victim of the depression and the country’s growing reliance on automobiles.
