Description

This catalog from Baldwin Locomotive works shows the wide variety of locomotives now available from the preeminent locomotive manufacturer in America. Baldwin had or was in the process of acquiring or out-competing nearly every other steam locomotive manufacturer. The company’s catalog provides customers with any kind of locomotive to meet any operational need. The firm’s dominance would last until the 1940’s when a new technology, diesel-electric motors, would arrive on the scene.
