American Car and Foundry is a manufacturer of railroad rolling stock. It was formed and incorporated in New Jersey in 1899 as the result of the merger of 13 smaller railroad car manufacturers. One of these companies was the Jackson and Woodin Manufacturing Company, founded in 1861 in Berwick, Pennsylvania, and the largest freight car manufacturer in the eastern United States. American Car & Foundry invested heavily in the Berwick plant. About three million dollars were spent on the purchase of additional land, erection of additional buildings and installation of machinery, and in 1904 it built the first ever all-steel rail passenger car.
When the Second World War began in Europe on 1 September 1939, the Berwick plant began building tanks for the United States government. On 2 August 1941, the 1000th tank rolled off the assembly line. From the late 1940s it produced cars. From 1952 to 1953 it manufactured M42 Duster SP anti-aircraft vehicles. In 1954 the company officially changed its name to ACF Industries, Inc. While ACF continues, in the early 1960s it partially withdrew from car building, and the Berwick plant was sold off in 1962.
