The Baldwin S-8, sold as the BLH S8, was an 875 horsepower diesel-electric switcher locomotive. Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton produced 63 units between 1951 and 1953, 61 for United States railroads and two for Cuba. Nine of them were calf units built for the Oliver Iron Mining Company in Minnesota; a tenth calf built on the same order was fitted with a cab and converted to a regular S-8 when delivery was refused. Only two intact examples are known to survive: Medford Corporation 8 in Medford, Oregon, and US Pipe and Foundry 37.
