NYC 4-6-4 #5409 - New York Central
Title:  NYC 4-6-4 #5409 - New York Central
Description:  Rugged looking 4-6-4 Hudson was built by Alco-Schenectady in September of 1937 as NYC 5409 (serial #68843, class J-3a). The loco served for nearly 31 years before being retired in February of 1956. The photo was taken a month later so it wasn't immediately sent to the scrapper's torch. May be the last photo of this proud loco ever taken. Specs - 79" drivers, impessive 265psi boiler pressure, 22.5x29" cylinders, engine weight of 360,000 lb, tractive effort of 41,860 lb, booser tractive effort of 12,100 lb.

NYC 4-6-4 #5451 - New York Central
Title:  NYC 4-6-4 #5451 - New York Central
Description:  Built by ALCo-Schenectady in April of 1938 originally as a NYC streamlined 4-6-4 Hudson #5451 (serial #68885), the streamline shrouding was removed in 1947. Nice to look at but according to most crews, a pain to service when the shroud was on. The loco lasted until retirement in February of 1956. Seen here a month later it has yet to be scrapped. Probably one of the last photos ever taken of it. Specs - originally streamlined, 79" drivers, impressive 265 psi boiler pressure, 22.5x29" cylinders, engine weight of 365,500 lb, tractive effort of 41,860 lb, booster unit tractive force of 12,100 lb. Unknown photographer.
