Between 1909 and 1937, the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania produced 44 specialized locomotdives that were built for or later transitioned to, the rigors of hauling raw logs on railroads where the grades were steep and the curves many. While all of these locomotives were built as articulated they varied greatly in design and appearance. Most were built as compound articulateds (Mallets) but two timber companies, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company and the Uintah Railway, received simple articulateds. This book] tells the complete story of these fascinating locomotives. Presented in construction number order, the articulateds are covered individually in great detail with statistics and full histories that document each locomotive from the day they left Baldwin's sprawling Eddystone, Pennsylvania factory to their ultimate destinations.
