message: "Over 70,500 locomotives had been produced when production ceased in 1956."
:I'm guessing that's total locomotives build over the 100-odd years Baldwin was in operation, not just Diesels.  From the article it's a little unclear - I think the end of the article particularly needs copyediting. FiggyBee 13:56, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Production

message: I think it would be interesting (and encyclopaedic) to include a list of presently running Baldwin steam locomotives. There is an amusement park my kids love to go to just down the road, and they have two Baldwins - no. 45069, a 1917 narrow gauge 4-6-0, and no. 69425, a 1943 narrow gauge 4-2-2, in complete working order - they have one or the other doing a 2-mile loop around the park every day pulling a passenger train. I will go this week and take some better pictures for the article.
They have a full service locomotive repair and parts fabrication shop as well.

thread_title:  List of Running Baldwin Locomotives 

message: A considerable portion of this article is written in an un-encyclopedic tone ("to be the end of the line", "proudly proclaiming", "testament to Baldwin's durability and reliability").  This suggests that the text in question (which is often uncited) was either written by a big fan/booster or was taken from some other work, perhaps a magazine article.  Either way, it's not appropriate for an encyclopedia and should be re-written (with footnotes) or removed.

message: "Between 1940 and 1948, domestic steam locomotive sales declined from 30 percent of the market to 2 percent."
A generous estimate of EMD and ALCO Diesel passenger locomotives produced from 1940-42 would be less than 150 cab units and no road freight Diesels had yet been sold in 1940.  The above statement does not seem possible unless somewhere around 20 steam locomotives were sold in 1940.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.208.11.42 (talk) 02:28, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  How is this statement possible? 

message: The lead states The company has no relation to the E.M. Baldwin and Sons locomotive builder of New South Wales, Australia.  and yet the whole final section is about Australia.  Is this correct? Chienlit (talk) 15:02, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's correct: American-built Baldwins were exported to Australia. The other company, E.M. Baldwin is an existing heavy engineering company in New South Wales which produces mining equipment, large tractors, etc. - plus some light-duty, narrow-gauge diesel locos for sugar cane railroads.

thread_title: Australia or not Australia

message: theres a photo (1954 Baldwin 0-4-4-0 diesel-electric switcher at the Texas Transportation Museum) but there is one problem : 0-4-4-0 is whyte notation and thats for steam locomotives and thats a diesel, so it should be B-B
