  • H.K. Porter, Inc. (Porter) manufactured light-duty railroad locomotives in the US, starting in 1866. The company became the largest producer of industrial locomotives, and built almost eight thousand of them. The last locomotive was built in 1950, but the company continues to produce industrial equipment to this day. Porter was known for building locomotives that were much smaller than those normally used by the larger Class I railroads. The company's locomotives were small enough that they were often operated by only one person. Porter built mostly steam locomotives, but they also built some powered by gasoline and diesel engines, and some that ran on compressed air. The largest collection of Porter photographs and information is currently housed in the Kentlein Porter Collection at the (a service of the National Model Railroad Association) in Chattanooga, TN. Many of the 780 builder's photos, blueprints and other locomotive data were republished in Porter Steam Locomotives, published by the library. (en)

  • ポーター(英:H. K. Porter, Inc.)はアメリカ合衆国に存在した機関車メーカーの一つである。 1866年に創業し、約8,000両に及ぶ産業用の小型機関車を製造した。1950年に機関車の製造を終了したが、会社は現在でも産業機械の製造を続けている。 一級鉄道の機関車よりはるかに小型の機関車を製造したことで知られた。同社が製造した多くの機関車は、1人で操作できるくらい十分小さなものであった。ポーターはほとんど蒸気機関車を製造したが、ガソリン機関車、ディーゼル機関車、圧縮空気機関車(無火機関車)も製造した。これは鉱山の坑内でボイラー内で燃える石炭の煤煙も高圧蒸気の危険も伴わない機関車の運転を可能にした。 (ja)
