I don't remember a Philadelphia industrial museum, but there is the Franklin Institute in Philly. On display in Railroad Hall is Baldwin number 60,000, a three cylinder water-tube boiler steam engine built in the 1920's. It was a little too radical for the railroads at the time and Baldwin didn't have any takers, it was the only one built. Hope this answers your question!
can anyone tell me which locomotive was on display at the Philidephia industrial museum in 1975 ?.
