Edwards Rail Car Company

[citation needed] By some estimates, the company built 100 rail cars, one-third of which were sent to Central and South America.

Edwards turned out over 130 cars over a two-decade span and made a name for itself among major South and Central American railways, as well as on U.S. Class 1 and short line railroads.

Both units were transferred to Santa Fe province, joining Maciel station with Puerto Gaboto a port on Parana River, that were first spanish colonial setting in Argentina as Fort Santi Spiritu.

By the late 1930s sales of railcars in the United States was at an all-time low, and with the war in Europe, Edwards sold the plant and new owners re-tooled for defense production in 1940.

As of 1933 the company claimed rail car sales to forty-four railroads; final tally of original purchasers was close to fifty.
