The age of steam locomotives began with the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia and later Eddystone, Pennsylvania, which grew from Baldwin's stationary engine for his shop around 1830 and a small locomotive model for the Philadelphia museum into a full-sized locomotive, Old Ironsides, completed in 1832 for the Philadelphia, Germantown and Morristown Railroad Company, and then into the largest steam locomotive manufacturer in the United States and the world before diesel power and automobiles led to its closure in 1954. One of its later products, Old No. 19, a Mogul type 2-6-0 built in 1923 for the Charcoal Iron Company of America and first used in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, was bought by the Marinette, Tomahawk and Western Railroad in April 1947 after earlier ownership by the Yawkey-Bissell Lumber Company of White Lake, Wisconsin, and served until diesel-electric locomotives replaced steam, ending its service on September 14, 1957. After being given to the City of Tomahawk in either 1959 or 1960, neglected at Memorial Park, moved across 4th Street in 1962, and displayed near the Wisconsin River, the engine was rescued again after more than 25 years when the Tomahawk Historical Society formed a Save the Engine Committee and, with city permission and help from the City of Tomahawk, M. T. and W., and Nekoosa Packaging, moved it to Washington Park in an effort begun in 1988. The Marinette, Tomahawk and Western Railroad had earlier brought train service to the growing Tomahawk community through lines that began with William H. Bradley's 1891 charter for the Wisconsin and Chippewa Railway, extended across the Tomahawk and Wisconsin rivers into Tomahawk, and developed through reorganization, asset purchases, and expansion east and west before later abandonments reduced the system to 13.39 miles of track. Its passenger trains once ran day and night between Tomahawk, Bradley, and Harrison, with sleepers and service to Spirit Falls, but improved automobiles and roads led to the end of passenger service on October 9, 1918, while freight such as leather, hides, bark, pulpwood, paper, lumber, logs, and shingles remained important. The line changed completely to diesel locomotive power in 1957, replacing No. 19, and later continued in freight use under Genesee Wyoming Railroad and Canadian National, while still using its depot built around 1900.
