[SEL] Surviving engine factories

[Paul + Colleen Gray]

The American Railroad Appliance Company (ARACO) building is still 
standing in Oil City PA on Seneca st. It is now a paint store and a 
sheet metal shop. Prior to that the occupants told me it was a 
refinery. I visited this spring and it was neat to see the inside of 
it.  Here in Newark, DE, the American Machine Works, who made the 
"Denny" Hot air engine is on Cleveland ave. It is now apartments but 
you can see the size of the complex. At one time, it was a bowling 
alley. It butts up against an abandoned railroad spur. In Wilmington, 
DE, the FF Sloccomb Co is still there. They made the "wilmington" Hot 
air engine of Denny design. I forget which came first, the Wilmington 
or the Denny.
