NYC 4-6-4 Commodore Vanderbilt
Title:  NYC 4-6-4 Commodore Vanderbilt
Description:  The Commodore Vanderbilt was the first American streamlined steam locomotive debuting in December 27, 1934, with a publicity tour to the major NYC cities. The 1929 Alco-Schenectady built 4-6-4 Hudson was originally NYC #5344 but selected for the Art Deco restyling. As pictured here in Albany, NY, on the NYC publicity tour, the new Hudson had what now is referred to as the "upside down bathtub"design by Carl Kantola. Solid disk driving wheels would be added later to complete the new "modern Art Deco" design. Eventually the "bathtub" was replaced in 1938 with the Dreyfus-designed streamline shroud. To capture the public's interest in the new design, even Lionel and Marx toy trains rushed to produce similar models for sales in the 1930's and 1940's. An unknown photographer took this beautiful & historic photo.

Interestingly, the listed date for this photo is 10/17/1954 after the sold for scrap date This very well may be the last photo ever taken of the loco as it sat lined out in a scrap line. .Specs - 79" drivers, 225 psi boiler pressure, 25x28" cylinders, engine weight of 359,800 lb, tractive effort of 42,360 lb, booser tractive effort of 10,900 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.
