Baldwin Locomotive Works 26

Baldwin Locomotive Works 26 is an 0-6-0 switcher type steam locomotive built in March 1929 by Baldwin Locomotive Works. One of several stock switchers equipped with a slope-backed tender, it spent its first nineteen years at Baldwin's own plant in Eddystone, Pennsylvania, hauling raw materials and completed locomotives in Baldwin's standard olive green livery alongside at least two identical sisters, numbers 21 and 24. After the Second World War it was sold to the Jackson Iron and Steel Company of Jackson, Ohio, as their No. 3, and in 1979 Jerry Jacobson bought it and saved it from scrap. Traded to the Steamtown Foundation in 1986, it is preserved and operated by Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and returned to excursion service in April 2016 after a seventeen year overhaul.
