Tim Fennell General This maybe the nostalgia talking but the elegance of the Steeplecab design is really under appreciated. Granted it’s just a cab with two narrow slope-back tender style hoods, very utilitarian and yet still pleasant to look at. 11/3/2014 10:57:08 PM
Chuck Zeiler General In fact, Baldwin-Westinghouse car bodies were assembled in Baldwin's tender shop. 11/4/2014 9:57:50 AM
Robert Farkas General What a catch. I knew the Iowa Terminal had a Charles City division, but images of it under wire are very uncommon. Thanks for posting this. 1/26/2015 10:57:19 PM
