Founders

In context

We hold 5 other manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock (nace 30.2) companies. 3 of them have closed, after a median of 97 years, and 2 have no closure recorded.

Counted across this directory, from founding and closing years in public records. Medians cover only companies whose closure is recorded; a company with no closure date may have quietly ceased without the record catching it.
