Description: I make a weekly trip to USPS every Tuesday or Wednesday (almost always on Tuesday) to drop off all orders for the week. Your tracking number will be available on Tuesday morning. Volume 3 of this wonderful series focuses on the locomotives of the Baldwin Locomotive Works and its successor, Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton. Baldwin began in 1831 and grew until it was one of most distinguished builders of steam locomotives but it also built several thousand diesels and made important contributions to the technology. This book provides a definitive history of the Baldwin Locomotive Works where the distinctive engines, known for their style, pulling power and throaty exhaust were built. The book includes a definitive review of the diesel designs and manufacture, beginning prior to World War II, with explicit descriptions of the models, including equipment specifications, production data and figures. The power and durability of all Baldwins is reflected in the fact that they can still be found today hard at work on shortlines, tourist railroads and industrial railways. Illustrated with 359 rare black and white photos and 20 official, never before published, Baldwin color views. With an all time builder's list and complete index. 296 pages.
