"This is the story of a locomotive builder and its relationship with many through its various products. To the railroader, Lima was the 'Super Power' steam locomotive. To the industrial locomotive user, Lima was the Shay. To the contractor, Lima meant shovels and cranes. There was one common link, however, and that was the quality of the products manufactured" in Lima, Ohio (jacket flap).
