Baldwin stream locomotive, 1842
Bildnummer 13501601
| A Baldwin six-coupled flexible beam truck locomotive. This general design, introduced in 1842, was built up to the period of the Civil War. A steam locomotive is a railway locomotive that produces its pulling power through a steam engine. These locomotives are fuelled by burning combustible material to produce steam in a boiler. The steam moves reciprocating pistons which are mechanically connected to the locomotive's main wheels. Both fuel and water supplies are carried with the locomotive, either on the locomotive itself or in wagons pulled behind. Matthias William Baldwin (1795-1866) was an American inventor and machinery manufacturer, specializing in the production of steam locomotives. Baldwin's small machine shop, established in 1825, grew to become Baldwin Locomotive Works, one of the largest and most successful locomotive manufacturing firms in the United States. The most famous of the early locomotives was 'Old Ironsides', built in 1832. | |
