Legacy
In 1906 the site of the locomotive works was purchased by New England Cotton Yarns, a large conglomerate of textile mills, based in Boston.
In 1947 the buildings of the Taunton Locomotive Manufacturing Company were demolished.
The site is now occupied by a shopping center, constructed in the 1970s as part of an urban redevelopment plan by the City of Taunton.
