Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company


    Visibility Cab

    In 1926, Westinghouse obtained the rights from Beardmore to manufacture this line of engines in the United States. From 1928 to 1930, Westinghouse built box cab switchers using mechanical components made by Baldwin.

    In 1930, Westinghouse broke the boxcab mold with the Visibility Cab. After entering into a 1936 agreement with Baldwin, Westinghouse ceased production of locomotives.
