Baldwin Locomotive Works/Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corporation
The Company
Like Alco, Baldwin was a steam builder early on, but made their move into the diesel market with a line of switchers before moving to road units after World War 2. Baldwin was located at Eddystone, PA, outside of Philadelphia, and along a Pennsy line, hence the railroad's early preferences for units from this builder. While Baldwin switchers were well-known for their lugging ability, the company failed to make the jump to building reliable road units, and even after their takeover of Lima-Hamilton failed to gather enough market share to make a go of things.
