New York Central Steam Roster: Post 1900

Last revised: September 20, 2024

With a system stretching nearly 12,000 miles from New York City to Chicago and St. Louis, the New York Central's steam locomotive fleet was nothing short of impressive.

Among eastern carriers it was rivaled only by the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad and was always at the forefront of steam technology. The steam roster included here features only engines comprising its fleet beyond 1900.

Some of the railroad's notable arrangements include the powerful 4-8-4 Niagaras, 4-8-2 Mohawks, and its 4-6-4 Hudsons. The NYC had a knack for going against the grain and coining its own monikers for its late-era arrangements. In its particular case the railroad used famous rivers in the state of New York.

Generally speaking, 2-8-2s and 2-8-0s comprised the bulk of its 20th century fleet for general freight service while 4-6-0s, 4-6-2s, 4-6-4s, and the dual-service Niagaras handled passenger assignments.

Interestingly, despite the company's size and industrial influence it operated very few articulated designs. Its most notable was a group of seventy-four 2-6-6-2s acquired from Alco between 1910-1917, largely for service on the Boston & Albany.

It also owned a small group of 0-8-8-0s and a signel 0-6-6-0, Class NB-1a, to work in passenger assignments west of Albany.

Once again, this roster is only general in nature and also does not include the post-World War II renumberings to make way for newly arriving diesels.
