Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) was an American manufacturer of railway locomotives from 1825 to 1951. Originally located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, it moved to nearby Eddystone in the early 20th century. The company was for decades the world's largest producer of steam locomotives, but struggled to compete when demand switched to diesel locomotives. Baldwin produced the last of its 70,000-plus locomotives in 1951, before merging with the Lima-Hamilton Corporation on September 11, 1951, to form the Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corporation.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">New South Wales Z29 class locomotive</span> Class of Australian 2-8-0 locomotives

The Z29 class was a class of steam locomotives built for the New South Wales Government Railways in Australia. They were used principally for goods transport up the steep gradients of rail track in the Blue Mountains, but also served on the Main South as far as Junee, the South Coast line as far as Waterfall and on Western lines as far as Mudgee and Wellington. Their introduction required cutting back some platforms as well as flattening their cylinder sides to achieve clearances. Over the years they lost some of their distinctive Baldwin appearance with reboilering with Belpaire boilers and acquisition of standard NSWGR chimneys and smokeboxes. The last two members of the class were delivered as 4 cylinder Vauclain compounds. The last withdrawn was 500 in April 1935, scrapped at Chullora in November 1937.
