Hi all, I hope enjoy this old time look of the New York Central, The film was taken by The late Sam Parks of Chicago, Ill. in the 1940's with 16mm film . The information was provided by Mr. Parks it was written on the back of the film box. I bought this film off E bay last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhMQa6gaUrU Len |

Just think, jointed rail, solid bearings. How did they do it? Very well thank you. |

Len - There is only a modest amount of New York Central steam locomotives still in existance: Two 4-8-2's Two 0-6-0's One 2-8-0 (as AT&SF) One 4-4-0 (#999) One 4-4-2 (Michigan Central) Some might add the former IHB 4-6-0 to the list. The question might also be, is there any chance that a NYC locomotive might steam one day? I think that the best possibility would be 0-6-0 #6894 that is at the Whitewater Valley Railroad in Indiana.

Thanks for the information Les and Alex. I know there one steamer left of the LNE. and none of the LV. But I always wonder about the NYC. Len. |

The list should have read TWO 2-8-0's. I forgot that the OTHER steamer located in Maine with the old Indiana Harbor Belt 4-6-0 is a former NYC Consolidation that had originally been built for the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and eventually became NYC #5780. I blame my forgetfullness on working over the past year to get IHB's Grasselli Tower moved to our museum and the IHB has been burned into my brain I guess. Sorry about the omission. Les |

If you want to get technical, there are two more. The c.1876 Boston & Albany 4-4-0 "Marmora," built at the NYC subsidiary's Springfield, MA shops and still extant at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, was leased to the Hudson River Railroad for a time before coming into the Purdue Collection. Also, the DeWitt Clinton replica at the Henry Ford Museum was built by the NYC, itself a copy of what I believe might technically be the Central's very first locomotive. (Given the Mohawk & Hudson was among it's earliest predecessors). It might not be much of an engine, but it's got to count for something... |

Don't forget at least one of the locomotives abandoned at Eagle Lake, in Maine. |
