Help request moved to user talk page Chzz ► 11:23, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The following line appears under the History section, but properly it belongs here on the talk page, but unfortunately I cannot figure out who inserted this line. {{help}}

I believe the corporate name is the "Reading Company" They did not use the word."railroad".

Baldwin support[edit]

This statement isn't very accurate.

"By the late 1960s, the original Baldwin diesels were beginning to suffer reliability problems, which was exacerbated by the fact that Baldwin had gone out of business some 10 years before and could no longer provide spare parts or maintenance."

While Baldwin ceased locomotive manufacturing in 1956, the company hadn't gone out of business and survived into the early 1970's, with Baldwin's parts business sold off and remaining a going concern into at least the 1980's. Complete rebuilding was marketed in trade journals until at least 1969, since I've seen ads from that year. And in October 1971 the replacement parts business was sold to Ecolaire as the Baldwin-Hamilton Company, according to the August 1972 issue of Trains Magazine. The same issue says that sales offices and warehouses were maintained in Wilmington Delaware, Aurora Illinois, and San Francisco. Full support for the Baldwin locomotive line was offered by Baldwin-Hamilton, as well as support for the stationary and marine side of Baldwin, Whitcomb locomotives, and Lima-Hamilton power.

The July 1984 issue of Trains even tells of a factory overhaul on an Escanaba & Lake Superior Baldwin. With the assistance of the last remaining Baldwin field representative, DS44-660 #101 received a brand new Baldwin prime mover, new traction motors, and a new electrical system among its upgrades. And after that rebuild was wrapped up in June 1980, another was later initiated with Baldwin support. A former Seaboard RS-12 entered the shop in June 1981 and exited in early 1982 with "virtually all new components", with plans to rebuild the remaining three (Unknown if that happened). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:A645:2100:F533:440A:FEB1:9C4A (talk) 23:50, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Baldwin support[edit]

Further evidence comes in an August 1987 Trains Magazine story about Sharon Steel and their Baldwin fleet. The author toured the mill in December 1985 and was told "Sharon gets most Baldwin parts from Baldwin-Hamilton Corp. in Malvern".

Official Baldwin parts support, nearly 10 years after the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines went defunct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:A645:2100:983:D5ED:BC44:365F (talk) 04:00, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Crossing Delaware River[edit]

Several of the trains to South Jersey actually did not begin in Philadelphia. They began in Camden; passengers would need to take a ferry from Philadelphia, cross the Delaware, to Camden, and then begin their trip on the train to Atlantic City or Cape May. When did the trains begin to originate in Philadelphia?Dogru144 (talk) 22:41, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
