Reply to "The Baldwin Locomotive Works"

The order to Baldwin from Southern Pacific was for fifty [50]  2-10-2's .The first one rolled out in January  1922 and the fiftieth in May  1922 .  their number sequence started at 3668 and ended at 3717 . This was not uncommon for Baldwin to get a large order at that time .Indeed , the country was prosperous in the early twenty's. No. 3687 which is shown in the last picture was finished for delivery in January 1922 and sported the number 55268 on its builders plate .
