the company became bankrupt and was purchased by the Baldwin Locomotive Works from 1931which operated the
company as the Whitcomb Locomotive Works until 1940. Baldwin completly took over the company in 1940 and
was operated as a division of Baldwin. In Febuary of 1952 locomotive production was shifted from Rochelle to the
