Jackson and Sharp Company
Jackson and Sharp Company was an American railroad car manufacturer and shipbuilder in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company was founded in 1863 by Job H. Jackson (b. 1833), a tinsmith and retail merchant, and Jacob F. Sharp (b. 1815), a carpenter who had worked for rail car manufacturers and shipbuilders.〔Delaware Public Archives. Dover, DE (2009). ("A Brief History of the Jackson & Sharp Company, Car and Ship Builders, 1863-1950." )〕
==Rolling stock plant==
Jackson and Sharp built a fabrication plant, called the Delaware Car Works, in Wilmington, Delaware near the mouth of Brandywine Creek. In the early years the facility had storage capacity for 6 cars and about 100 employees. By 1880 the plant produced 400 passenger cars per year.〔Mid-Continent Railway Museum. North Freedom, WI. ("Jackson & Sharp." ) ''Builders of Wooden Railway Cars.'' Accessed 2011-01-09.〕 Through facility expansions on the site, the capacity grew to 75 cars, with about 1,000 employees in the late 1880s. At that time it was considered to be the largest rolling stock plant in the Americas. Clients included Great Western Railroad (Illinois), South Side Elevated Railroad (Chicago), Denver and Rio Grande Railway, King Oscar II of Sweden, and Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil.〔
It supplied the passenger cars for the Waterloo & City Railway in London, England, in 1897-8.〔John C Gillham, ''The Waterloo & City Railway'', The Oakwood Press, Usk, United Kingdom, 2001, ISBN 0 85361 525 X〕
