12 The handsome model of the Locomotive "Old Ironsides", built by Matthias Baldwin in 1832 and which Locomotive hauled the first passenger train in the State of Pennsylvania, which was constructed at considerable expense by the Baldwin Locomotive Works and presented by them to the Museum, is one of the most valuable accessions of the year. This model, accurate in every detail, a faithful miniature of the early handiwork of the founder of the company, which has sent locomotives to every Quarter of the globe, will be a great aid to the future historians, who may ^[[wish to]] place upon record the facts connected with the beginnings of locomotive building in America.
