Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, these engines were essential in hauling fast passenger trains across the United States. The Jersey Central (Central Railroad of New Jersey) operated a fleet of these locomotives, including the P47 class, which was renowned for its reliability and performance on regional passenger routes. Baldwin Locomotive Works, founded in 1831, was one of the most significant steam locomotive manufacturers in the world. Baldwin engines were known for their superior craftsmanship and innovative engineering, making them staples of American railroading during the steam era.
