Baldwin Locomotive Works, Eddystone Pennsylvania Jigsaw Puzzle
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.

The picture quality is fantastic on these puzzles. They have a high gloss finish and look fantastic. My only complaint is that there is a lot of movement with the pieces compared to regular cardboard pieces. Once compelted there is still a lot of play and pieces can move out of place. The puzzle says 8x10 But was about 1/4, 1/8 shorter on either end. Yes there are some concerns but I would definitely order another puzzle. Print and finish were great
