Steam Locomotives

The year that Continental Fabricators was established, 1903, was during a period in the United States when the steam locomotive was king. The newfangled automobile hadn't taken hold yet, so if you wanted to travel the country, you either rode a horse or took a steam locomotive.

As a union Boilermaker shop, our history is tied to the steam locomotive industry, and we are proud to say that we continue to honor that tradition today, albeit in a slightly different way.

We now make parts, repair and restore existing boilers, and we are the only ASME Code Stamp shop to fabricate a new all-welded locomotive boiler.
