Baldwin No. 38

Baldwin No. 38 is a 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive it was built in April 1927 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, the largest manufacturer of steam locomotives in the country.
The locomotive was acquired for freight service, but in the H&BT's declining years the locomotive also pulled the railroad's passenger train, which made one round trip daily between Huntingdon and Bedford, PA.
The engine was in regular service for 27 years until the H&BT abandoned operations in March 1954 when it was retired. It was the railroad's last operable locomotive and was employed by the scrap contractor to dismantle the beloved 102-year-old line.
In April 1954, the new Everett Railroad Company purchased four miles of the old Huntingdon & Broad Top in and around the borough of Everett. Documents in the company's archives indicate the Everett Railroad intended to buy engine 38, but reconsidered and opted for a more efficient diesel locomotive instead.
Today the locomotive is at the Everett Railroad where it sits in storage. Mostly because the boiler for engine 38 is stored on the railroad and will be undergoing repairs as time and resources permit.
