Mathias Baldwin built his first steam locomotivein 1832, with the assistance of a railroad mechanic named Andrew Vauclain. Five decades later, his son Samuel M. Vauclain joined the Baldwin Locomotive Works Company. Vauclain developed the compound locomotive in 1889, an achievement that changed the face of the railroad industry. He also engineered many engine prototypes, and performed developmental work on the balanced compound. A lifetime employee at Baldwin, Vauclain served as General Superintendent, Vice-President, President, and finally as Chairman of the Board, until his death in 1940.
