“I just had to tell you how magnificent the program entitled “Niagara’s and Mohawks” is. I especially enjoyed those shots...where the engine is being serviced prior to hauling one of the Centrals many limiteds.”
— D Stewart, Croton, NY

One of the wonders of the steam locomotive world, The New York Central 4-8-4 Niagara—a locomotive so good it was an embarrassment to a railroad management that chose to embrace diesel power—is featured along with the Mohawk, the workhorse of steam that ruled the New York Central mainline for almost 20 years before the advent of the Hudson.

An early morning parade of steam—commuters, mail and crack luxury trains—head down the shore of the Hudson River to New York City, transporting you trackside to an era few can remember! The DVD also shows the famous division point at Elkhart, Indiana where roller bearing Niagaras drifted though the yard with 5000 tons and exhaled barely a sigh, only to awake like bull elephants when they felt the mainline beneath their feet. The finale features “Gotham Steam” on the Erie and the Jersey Central in the 1940s and early ‘50s.
