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.

This puzzle is great, the size is good for children aged older than 7 years old, as the pieces are quite small. Good quality print also. The picture turned out exactly like the photo I submitted. Make sure your photo is crisp and clear. Also consider multiple photos in the one puzzle.

Turned this into a lockdown activity with my partner for our anniversary. I got the 110 pieces since neither of us are big on puzzles. It's was just one of the nice little fun activities we did together. Probably took 30 minutes all up. We're gona frame it and keep it as a memory. The quality of the print was fine. Our teeth look like they stick out a bit just due to the the shape of the pieces around our teeth. But no problems.
