| Niagaras & Mohawks 28 Mins #SRP-NYC 3 $29.95 If this one doesn’t give you goose bumps, return it for refund. This is the renowned Guy Brant at work on the Western end of the New York Central System where the streamliners came screaming across the Ohio heartland at speeds over 90 miles an hour with the Southwestern Limited, the Ohio State Limited, the Chicagoan and many others. It features one of the wonders of the steam locomotive world: The New York Central 484 Niagara - a locomotive so good it was an embarrassment to a railroad management that chose to embrace diesel power. Of course it has that all-time workhorse of steam, the Mohawk, hard at it on both freight and passenger. This is the engine that ruled the New York Central Mainline for almost 20 years before the advent of the Hudson. This tape also dwells on the famous division point at Elkhart, Indiana where roller bearing Niagaras drifted thru the yard with 5000 tons and exhaled barely a sigh, only to awake like bull elephants when they felt the main line beneath their feet. It contains a brief section on the Erie around New York and then moves to Harmon and the morning parade of mainline New York Central steam along the Hudson. back |
