The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen was founded on December 1, 1873, at Port Jervis,
New York, to provide mutual support for railroad firemen. The Brotherhood initially
emphasized insurance, but by the late nineteenth century had branched out into labor-management
relations.
At the turn of the century, the organization changed its name to the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen (BLFE) after permitting engineers to join its
ranks. In 1969, the union merged with the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen,
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and the Switchmen's Union of North America to
form the United Transportation Union.
