Baldwin S-8


The Baldwin S-8 was an diesel-electric locomotive intended for use in yard switching. The Baldwin Locomotive Works produced a total of 63 units between 1951 and 1953. Of these, nine were "calf" units built for Oliver Iron Mining Company in Minnesota. A tenth calf had been built for them on a verbal order, but when delivery was refused, it was fitted with a cab, and converted to a regular S-8.

Original owners

Only two intact examples of the S-8 are known to survive today, one of which is owned by a railroad museum, while the other is the property of a railway historical society.
