The company was formed in 1881 after the Marquis Jules-Albert de Dion saw a scientific toy locomotive in a shop run by engineers Georges Bouton and his brother-in-law Charles Trepardoux.
The brothers had ambitions to build a steam car but neither could afford to finance the operation, De Dion who had a fascination with steam railway locomotives could and a partnership was formed. Their first, unsuccessful car was built in 1883 but by 1887 one was a entered by De Dion in a trial (race) billed as Europe's first motoring competition. There were no other entries but the car did successfully complete the course, and still survives today being a regular entrant in the London to Brighton run. more steam vehicles and tractors followed.
Trepardoux resigned from the company in 1894, and the company became known as De Dion Bouton et Compagnie. The first internal combustion engined car was produced in 1895. By 1900 De Dion Bouton had become the worlds largest automobile manufacturer producing 400 cars and 3,200 engines and a factory was opened in the USA at Brooklyn in New York. And there were an estimated 150 other companies purchasing and using the de Dion Bouton engines. They went on to produce the first successful V8 engine.
Car production peaked in 1908, during WW1 production concentrated on gun parts, armoured vehicles, car trucks, and aircraft engines.
Post war the company stagnated and, for much of 1927 the factory closed before re-opening. Takeover bids from Peugeot and Mercedes failed to materialize and passenger car production ceased in 1932. Small numbers of commercial vehicles continued to be produced and the last vehicles to carry the badge were licence built Land Rovers in the 1950's.
As well as road vehicles De Dion Bouton produced large numbers of rail cars on various gauges for both France and a large export market.
The company name was bought by a motorcycle manufacturer in 1955

This was one of my favorites from this morning at Magic Kingdom. I really love Main Street and love spending time there. I got this one in Town Square of some of the great blooms hanging from the lightposts. I was really happy I had another chance to get back to Main Street for some shooting. :) Enjoy!
Cylinders, exhaust stacks and red cooling ducts fill the engine bay of a light aircraft, with yellow fuel lines threaded between them. The tight frame turns the mechanical tangle into a study of shape and color.

Between 1905 and 1909 my grandfather Gabriel Clark worked as a foreman for the Imperial Chinese Railroad in Henan Province of China. This set of his photos shows the railway that he worked on and has scenes of stations, engines, railway structures, and railway construction.

Just some facts:
This engine drives one of the steepest trains in the world,it has declared as a world heritage by the UN guys. The train shuttles bw Metupallayam to Ooty.
It seems that diesel engine doesn;t have enough power to drive the steep train so a old steam engine is still being used.
