British and South African export concerns cite American rail orders
A British and South African Export Gazette letter notes large U.S. railway orders for Cape Colony gear. It lists Baldwin, Union Switch and Signal, Dressed Steel Car and other firms delivering locomotives, cars, and rails to the Cape government railways, with millions in contracts and ongoing shipments from Philadelphia and other U.S. sites. The piece argues anti British bias and price advantages push orders to America, warning of diverted Cape contracts amid global competition.
