While attending graduate school at Penn from 1978-11980, I had a summer job with Burns Security as a guard at the old Baldwin Locomotive Works in Eddystone, PA. What a scary place at 0200 making rounds in the dark. Big pits (where many years before, workers would work under the locomotives in the day.) and cheap flashlights. I still get a kick out of seeing an old Baldwin Locomotive now and then.
