This documentary explores why Baldwin’s massive Centipede diesel became impossible for railroads to keep alive. Despite strong pulling power and smooth riding qualities, its twin engines, complex electrical systems, and maintenance-heavy design overwhelmed railroad shops already moving toward standardization. The Centipede didn’t fail because it was weak—it failed because railroads no longer had patience for machines that couldn’t be diagnosed, fixed, and returned to service quickly. In the end, simplicity proved more valuable than spectacle.
