This location was one of the first to employee females in full time production roles
While this plant was in operation, 320 walnut trees were cut into gunstocks
for shipment here each working day.
The highest average daily production at the Eddystone Arsenal was 5,000 rifles, and the highest maximum daily production was 7,201 rifles.
At the peak of production there were 15,097 employees with a payroll of $402,817 per week. In addition, there were 1,317 government inspectors assigned to the plant.
For reference on your last point, the $402,817 weekly payroll would have been anywhere from $3,854,603 to $10,590,425, depending on whether that "peak of production" was closer to the plant's 1956 bankruptcy or the plant's 1825 opening respectively. Source
That would have been 1918, since production for Model of 1917s effectively ended in December, 1918, due to the end of the war. These stats are just for the workers employed at the plant to make rifles for the US military, and not related to the locomotive capacity at all (which was still happening).
I was just adding some additional context w/r/t the Baldwin Factory. It had a proud history in its day.
