Textbook in PDF format From its founding in 1831, the Baldwin Locomotive Works grew to become one of the greatest builders of steam locomotives in American history. Then came the Diesel Age, and profound changes rocked the locomotive industry. In this rapidly evolving marketplace, Baldwin would be overtaken by other companies and eventually cease production. But before that happened it would build thousands of Diesel locomotives and make a number of important contributions to the industry. This important new book will provide you with a fascinating introduction to the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and a definitive review of the company’s Diesel locomotive designs and their manufacture. You’ll follow the development of the various engines and learn about the locomotive models they were applied to, beginning prior to World War II and continuing up to the end of Diesel locomotive production. Each model is described in detail, including equipment specifications, production facts and figures, even changes to specifications that occurred. Author John Kirkland is no stranger to this subject. His career with Baldwin began in 1940, and he moved on to become the company’s Western Region Sales Manager before retiring in 1970. His insider’s view of the company offers interesting perspectives into how and why decisions were reached that affected the course of Diesel locomotive production. Mr. Kirkland’s three previous books, DAWN OF THE DIESEL AGE, THE DIESEL BUILDERS, VOLUME ONE: Fairbanks- Morse and Lima-Hamilton, and THE DIESEL BUILDERS, VOLUME TWO: American Locomotive Company and Montreal Locomotive Works, are well known among locomotive enthusiasts as the definitive reference works in their field. In this newest volume, readers will find the same attention to detail and engineering scholarship that they have come to expect from Mr. Kirkland’s work. Complementing the in-depth text is a treasury of 359 rare black-and-white and 20 color photographs, including previously unpublished, official Baldwin color views plus an all-time builder’s list and complete index
