Thanks for more NY Central history, Bob, as I have said, I really appreciate these photos.

Both nice photos from the past.  Thanks Bob for sharing them with all of us.

I too enjoy NYC steam, especially the Hudsons & Mohawks.  My dad saw a lot of NYC but only had one movie clip of a Niagara, which was on a Cleveland to Cincinnati train. I remember the Mohawks, 2-8-2's and switchers the most during the last days of steam which happened to be around Riverside and Sharonville yards in Cincinnati.  I remember dad would have his choice around 1956 of L&N 2-8-4's, B&O, NYC, and N&W in the area.  PRR went out of steam here around 1953 I think.  I got to see a fair amount as a little boy.  When he had no steam to shoot he pretty much gave up on movies, aside from a couple of foreign trips later on.
Like that shot of 3140.  I like the looks of those much better than the 4-8-4's.  American fans of South African 4-8-4's referred to them as baby New York Central Niagara's!!!

Having grown up in Rochester in the 50's, NYC is my favorite railroad so many thanks for these photos.
I have only a vague recollection of seeing a steam locomotive at that time, and have no idea which type it was.
How sad that NYC management purposely let all the Hudson's and Niagara's go to scrap.
