Book

Baldwin: Fifty years at Eddystone. Book 1: 1906-1939, The Baldwin Locomotive Works at Eddystone, 1906-1956

This volume is the first of two that explores The Baldwin Locomotive Works at its massive facilities in Eddystone, Pennsylvania. Baldwin is synonymous with steam railroad locomotive construction. It was a single site manufacturing plant until the upturn of business in 1906, when expanded foundry and machining capacity became necessary. Instead of attempting to buy ground somewhere in the immediate Philadelphia neighborhood and build another multi-story building, they bought the abandoned Gunsen Iron Foundry at Eddystone, Pennsylvania, twelve miles south. The foundry and 180 acres of pasture land comprised the first modest investment in what would become a 600 acre manufacturing complex. It was a gem in a highly concentrated manufacturing center on the Delaware River.
