H.K. Porter was an old line manufacturer of small steam since 1866. They started building gas locomotives in 1911, and diesels in 1940. The "Joshua Rhodes" was built in a tiny three-story wooden shop with an annual capacity of 15 to 25 locomotives. In 1943, the
H. K. Porter Company, Inc. occupied four large modern industrial plants at Pittsburgh and Blairsville, Pennsylvania, Newark,
and New Brunswick, New Jersey. From a single type of steam locomotive the Porter line has grown to include every type of
locomotive used in industrial switching. They built a total of 287 internal combustion locomotives prior to selling their designs to Davenport in 1950.
