I took this photo at the September 1993 Labor Day Steamshow Weekend, at the Hesston Steam Museum. This miniature 14 " guage Live Steam 4-6-4 streamlined Hudson type steam locomotive, had originally worked at the Kiddieland Amusement Park in Melrose Park Illinois. It was donated to the Hesston Steam Museum in 1982, and occasionally powers passenger trains on the museum's 14" guage miniature railroad. The real New York Central Railroad had simular streamlined 4-6-4 Hudson type steam locomotives during the 1930's and 1940's operating between Chicago and New York City, on the 20th Century Limited train. Just like the prototype streamlined NYC 4-6-4's...This one is fast, powerfull, and also burns coal too.Thursday, January 24, 2008
