"The Whitcomb Locomotive Works were located at Rochelle, IL. Originaly known as the George D. Whitcomb Co. which produced mining equipment including gas and electric locomotives after the turn of the century.In 1931
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
Eddystone Works."
