These are all great photos whatever they turn out to be.
This subset caught my attention. They look like trolleys but a couple seem to be associated with ferry transportation. SOmI wondered whether they had a specialized use. It might not be that hard to Google the street/RR names for these to produce a date range.
Can anyone share more? I just assumed that Baldwin only built locomotives.

You realize of course that all of those are in fact steam locomotives? They are a variety of "steam dummies" (designed to look like streetcars so as not to scare horses) and inspection cars. All are steam powered.

Well I do now. :-). I assumed they were steam powered but had never heard of "steam dummies" nor seen anything in that shape before. Thanks for filling me in.
