From the 1830s to 1956, Philadelphia-based Baldwin gave the world many of the most significant locomotives ever produced. The Baldwin Locomotive Works also routinely posed new locomotives to be photographed with large-format cameras. The results were astounding images showcasing the locomotives' smallest details. It is these remarkable photographs, housed in the Broadbelt Collection at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, that illustrate author Brian Solomon's thorough model histories and specifications, beginning with the earliest steam models and continuing through the company's final passenger and freight diesel-electrics. The result is a beautiful and lasting document of a true icon of American rails.
