PREVIEW Baldwin Diesels - 3 128
FOREWORD
TWO VOLUMES, EH?" That's a legitimate question as you see this Baldwin Diesels-2, In Color, Owners H through P. I was still planning to do this project in two volumes as I wrapped up Baldwin Diesels- 1 In Color, and gave it to Morning Sun Books for publication.
As I got all the photos organized and began to "block out" this Volume 2, it became very obvious that I had far too much great material to handle properly in just 128 pages. Publisher Bob Yanosey didn't need much of a sales pitch when I suggested spreading this out over three volumes. The only problem was that Volume 1 had already been committed to press, and it was too late to modify any "two-volume" references to reflect the change to three volumes.
The project will be treated as one book in three segments. The material in this volume is exclusively "Chapter 3, Owners H through P."Baldwin Diesels-3 In Color will begin with "Chapter 4, Owners Q through Z" and continue with chapters including a review of the various Baldwin locomotive models and a summary of their original purchasers.
When the topic of Baldwin diesels first arose as a potential book project, we were impressed with visions of brutish AS616s and the awesome Pennsy passenger Sharks, but the photo files seemed to be awfully full of switch engines. Switchers were
worthwhile subjects whenever they got in front of me, but I hadn't really gone out of my way to seek them out. It's an oversight that I now truly regret.
Baldwin switchers are compelling little beasts, and they are not as mysterious as I'd once believed. Back in 1963 I "stumbled upon" a 100% Baldwin short line only 40 miles from home. The LaSalle & Bureau County went to work at 6:00 p.m. and could be photographed in daylight during only a few mid-summer weeks each year. My first photos of it were taken one night in 1963 as Number 8 idled at the Illinois Central interchange at Midway (above). At that time, I didn't know what kind of an engine it was, and I even did a feature article in the July 1972 Railroad Model Craftsman in which I incorrectly identified one of the model types.
Baldwin was just getting into the diesel business at the onset of the Second World War, and the War Production Board restricted its diesel production exclusively to VO1000 switchers from June 1942 to December 1944. Baldwin switchers became known for the snappy response of their air-actuated throttles and for their uncanny ability to lug heavy loads with their massive Westinghouse traction motors. Even Baldwins biggest units were more often used as heavy switchers than as road units.
Working on this book, I've become quite a fan of Baldwin switchers - JIM BOYD, December 10, 2001.
