Overview

The 1876 Centennial Exhibition, which marked the 100th anniversary of our Nation’s birth, was a showcase of the American spirit in industry and culture. Several locomotive manufacturers supplied motive power for the Exhibition’s 3.5 mile passenger railroad, but a Baldwin 4-4-0 was the standout performer.

The Baldwin 4-4-0 went on to play a key role in the development and growth of U.S. narrow gauge railroads, and then served lines throughout the world. This style of locomotive was used more than any other in nearly every variety of service throughout the United States.
