Steam & Excursion > Bill Gwinn Photos (The Last) - NYC 5424Date: 01/31/23 06:53 Bill Gwinn Photos (The Last) - NYC 5424 Author: refarkas Some will look at this series of photos and see less-than-good photos even with modern photo editing software. Others will look at this streetcar motorman's/bus driver's photos and realize he did the best with what he could afford. Here is my favorite. I saved it for last.
NYC 5424 is along the lakefront in Cleveland, Ohio on September 6, 1953. Thanks for all the comments. I think Bill would have enjoyed them. Bob  Date: 01/31/23 07:06 Re: Bill Gwinn Photos (The Last) - NYC 5424 Author: jimeng A wonderful collection of photos!

power reverse piston rod, the engine and train are shoving backwards. Apparently at a slow speed. The front-end throttle is about 1/3 'open'..... W. Edited 2 time(s).

Thanks for sharing. Date: 01/31/23 12:46 Re: Bill Gwinn Photos (The Last) - NYC 5424 Author: nycman The one you saved for last is a real beauty, Bob. Thanks for the whole series you shared with us. Wish Bill were still around so we could thank him as well.

Gary Date: 01/31/23 15:45 Re: Bill Gwinn Photos (The Last) - NYC 5424 Author: Copy19 Wow, that tender really carries a lot of coal! Great shots of Central steam.
JB - Omaha Date: 01/31/23 16:35 Re: Bill Gwinn Photos (The Last) - NYC 5424 Author: Goalieman Thanks so much for sharing!! That is a great picture of a fine looking locomotive. I too am always “wowed” by the 30 tons of coal carried by the NYC Hudson’s. While it limited the water capacity to 14,000 gallons, that could be replenished over the track pans at speed. Oh to have seen these beasts in person. Thanks again!

PT-2 & later.. carried 18,000 gals water + high speed water scooping capacity ... W. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/31/23 17:28 by wcamp1472. Date: 01/31/23 17:47 Re: Bill Gwinn Photos (The Last) - NYC 5424 Author: just4frost When fully loaded, the tender weighed more than the engine.
