type "Baldwin Consoldation Locomotives" into Google and you will find all the information you could require. There is one page which lists all the railroads that they worked on. Over 27,000 were built! (There wern't that many Dakotas).

Hi Spyder,
No, a Consolidation is a locomotive with a 2-8-0 wheel configuration. A Dakota was a Douglas (USA) DC3 which was the most common passenger AIRCRAFT built and used in WW2. In service for over 50 years. (about 12,000 were built between 1935 and 1950).
