Description	This catalog from 1899 illustrates the products made by the Lorain Steel Company, manufacturers of rails for streetcars and electric interurbans. The catalog comprises 168 pages, each measuring approximately 12.2 by 9.44 inches (32 by 24 cm). Sections on girder special works and steam railroad crossings are included here. Thomas L. Johnson founded the Johnson Steel Street Rail Company in Johnstown, Pennsylvania in 1888. The company moved to Lorain in 1894. Its proximity to Lake Erie and the Black River made it possible to cheaply bring together the raw materials needed to make steel--ore, coal, coke, and limestone. The establishment of steel mills in the south part of the city was the beginning of Lorain's emergence as an important industrial center. In 1898, the company's name was changed to the Lorain Steel Company. Four years later it became part of the National Tube Corporation.
