About This Design

Baldwin Locomotive Works,Eddystone Pennsylvania Postcard

Baldwin Locomotive Works,Eddystone Pennsylvania Postcard

From www.railphotoexpress.biz; Baldwin Locomotive Works moved to Eddystone Pennsylvania in the Late 1920's.The Office Tower still stands today Baldwin built many more steam locomotives at its cramped 196 acres Broad Street Philadelphia Pennsylvania shop but would begin to a shift in production to a 616 acres site located at Spring Street in nearby Eddystone, Pennsylvania, in 1906. Broad Street was constricted, but even so, it was a huge complex, occupying 8 square city blocks from Broad to 18th St. and Spring Garden to the Reading Railroad tracks just past Noble Street in Philadelphia. Eddystone on the other hand was spread out over 600 acres. Its capacity was well over 3000 locomotives per year. The move from Broad Street was completed in the late 1920s. The Office Tower still stands today near The (Pennsylvania Railroad) Amtrak Northeast Corridor. Although the company was very successful as a producer of steam locomotives, its transition to the production of diesels was far less so. Later, when the early demand for diesel locomotives to replace steam tapered off, Baldwin could not compete in the marketplace. It stopped producing locomotives in 1956 and went out of business in 1972.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
