Steam & Excursion > Bill Gwinn Photos (2) - NYC 5363Date: 01/19/23 07:58 Bill Gwinn Photos (2) - NYC 5363 Author: refarkas These are from Bill's box camera.
New York Central 5363 is at NYC's Collinwood Yard in Cleveland, Ohio on July 17, 1955. 1.) 3/4 photo. 2.) Front shot. Bob   Date: 01/19/23 09:31 Re: Bill Gwinn Photos (2) - NYC 5363 Author: WauhopM Such a shame that not one of these was saved.

Date: 01/19/23 13:17 Re: Bill Gwinn Photos (2) - NYC 5363 Author: nycman Wow, an actual NYCS Hudson. It really doesn't look bad considering how long it has been out in service. Bob, do you have any more of those?

I'm just picking a couple at a time, but if there are good photos, I'll try to post them.

."..... ..out in service..." Is NOT the same as 'out of service'... It could be better... But, to me, both the pictures show its as being LIVE.... They're handsome engines, but my favorite is the J3s, W. Date: 01/19/23 19:01 Re: Bill Gwinn Photos (2) - NYC 5363 Author: wabash2800 Sorry, I missed that. I read "out of service". I am getting old too.
Victor Baird Date: 01/19/23 19:20 Re: Bill Gwinn Photos (2) - NYC 5363 Author: Trainhand I wonder how many men it took to pick up the coupler and put the bar under it?

I'm old too. I should have included that that engine was built in 1930 or 31, so by 1955 it had been in service for 25 or 26 years and the Hudsons accumulated big monthly mileage in service.
