Gorganstein Motive Rail (company)

Gorganstein Motive Rail, commonly referred to as Gorganstein Rail, was the division of American truck manufacturer Gorganstein that manufactured railroad locomotives, locomotive products and diesel engines for the rail industry. Introduced as a companion division for the Gorganstein Diesel subsidiary, the company represented Gorganstien's attempt to enter the rail industry in the vein of General Motor's Electro Motive Diesel and General Motors Diesel. Unlike other railroad equipment manufacturers, Gorganstein Motive Rail only produced experimental locomotives from its founding in 1955 until it was purchased by the competing R.H. and Sons in 1963.
