Johnson Steel Street Rail Company.
The Johnson Steel Street Rail Company was organized in 1883 by Tom Loftin Johnson (1854-1911) with the backing of Alfred Victor and Antoine Bidermann du Pont to manufacture the improved street-car rail which Johnson had invented the year before. The firm was renamed The Johnson Company on January 1, 1889, and constructed a fabricating works in Johnstown, Pa. Through a subsidiary, the Lorain Steel Company, it built its own steel mill at Lorain, Ohio. Johnson sold the entire complex of rail manufacturing facilities to the Federal Steel Company in 1898, with which they passed to U.S. Steel in 1901.
