Many 4-8-2 locomotives were therefore built for dual service. [citation needed] About 2,200 Mountain type locomotives were built for 41 American railroads. With 600 4-8-2 locomotives, the largest user in the United States was the New York Central Railroad (NYC). The Water Level Route eschewed the hilly moniker in favor of Mohawk type. [32]

The Baldwin 4-8+8-4 750/8DE1 was the Baldwin Locomotive Works' first attempt at building a road diesel locomotive. The trucks were configured in a 2-D+D-2 wheel arrangement. Only a single test unit was built. In 1943 Baldwin built an experimental "Centipede" as a demonstrator unit, which was assigned road #6000.
A list of diesel locomotives built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works since 1939. The Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) was an American manufacturer of railway locomotives from 1825 to 1951. Originally located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, it moved to nearby Eddystone in the early 20th century.
