[PAR] [TLE] Southern Pacific 2706 [SEP] Southern Pacific 2706 is a 2-8-0 "Consolidation" Class C-8 steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1904 for the Southern Pacific Transportation Company (SP).  It is one of three surviving members of its class, and one of many preserved SP 2-8-0s. [PAR] [TLE] Baldwin Locomotive Works [SEP] The Baldwin Locomotive Works was an American builder of railroad locomotives.  It was originally located in Philadelphia, and later moved to nearby Eddystone, Pennsylvania.  Although the company was very successful as the largest producer of steam locomotives, its transition to the production of diesels was far less so.  Later, when the early demand for diesel locomotives to replace steam tapered off, Baldwin could not compete in the marketplace.  It stopped producing locomotives in 1956 and went out of business in 1972, having produced over 70,000 locomotives, the vast majority powered by steam.
