Baldwin "Babyfaces"


The Baldwin DR-4-4-15 was a  diesel-electric powered by a 608SC 1,500-horsepower (1,100 kW) prime mover.  A total of 22 cabbed A units and 11 cabless B units were produced between November 1947 and June 1950. It was produced in two different body types, nicknamed the "Babyface" and "Sharknose" styles by rail enthusiasts, although Baldwin used the same model number for both.

Here 2 of the ten A units and 1 of of the five B units ordered by the Central Railroad of New Jersey are seen at Scranton PA in January 1961.
