Find #55 Railroad History Part Deux ( GC1541Q )

I have always wanted to visit this site even before I knew anything about geocaching.  It is located on the previous site of the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Eddystone, PA.  A company that was responsible for a large number of the locomotive engines back in the hay day of steam power.

As I pulled into the parking area in front of the still standing Baldwin Tower which was the office building for the company, an  Amtrak Acela passenger train went whizzing by in a blur.  Quite the contrast to the steam engines that were once manufactured here.  Great stuff!
