Industrial/light Railway manufacturers in the USA

Can anyone direct me to information on Light Railway suppliers who had manufacturing facilities in the United States. Specifically I'm interested in the Koppel facilities that were in Pennsylvania. However, I'd like to learn about other manufacturers as well.

Best bet is to get ahold of some of the old trade publications, ie: Railway Age, Pocket List of Railroad Officials ect.... These are cram pack with ads from manufacturers. Any major library should have the Railway Age. The Pocket List may be harder to find, I have just one from the 50's and 80's myself. Those you may have to find from a dealer or an auction.
