The NYC "Niagara" was a very handsome example of a 4-8-4 type steam locomotive, it is a true shame that none of these class s1b engines were saved from the scrap yards as I do wish that was the case. I would really enjoy to see a NYC rr "Hudson" and a "Niagara" type on display at a railroad museum today & these two locomotive classes are arguably the most famous of all the NYC rr system steam power.

[@TomedysTrains]

Shame that none of the original New York Central Niagaras were preserved, not even one. They were such dependable steam locomotives. But it's very cool that a miniature live steam railway in England has a "Mini Niagara" in their collection. Nice video you put together of their history. By the way, passenger steam operations on the New York Central's Water Level Route went from Chicago to CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY, not New York City. Croton-on-Hudson, NY to New York's Grand Central Terminal on the Water Level Route was handled by electrics at the time the Niagaras existed.

[@jacktherailfan3264]

I've been looking forward to this video for a while, and it sure didn't disappoint! It should be noted that the biggest reason for the Niagara's extreme efficiency was the fact that they were cross-compound steam locomotives, meaning they got fresh steam to one cylinder, which then exhausted the steam to the other cylinder. I believe the steam was re-superheated on its way to the second cylinder. The Niagara is definitely one of my favorite locomotive designs of all time, right there with the Lima Berkshires.

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

The Niagaras were not compounds. The cylinders were of the same size.

Those are "Niagras" in name only. The only thing an NdeM QR-1 Niagra has in common with an NYC S-1 or S-2 Niagara is the wheel arrangement. The Mexican "Niagras"were named in honor of the NYC "Niagaras."

I love the Niagaras. I wish the New Build Niagara would happen, I know most of train fans want the New Build NYC Hudson to happen first, and I don't blame them either, I blame Al Pearlman for not preserving one or few of NYC Niagaras and Hudsons! I would like a New Build Niagara to happen, We have Daylight 4449 and J class 611 preserved since they're both streamlined 4-8-4's, while a NYC Niagara and Union Pacific's never retired FEF-3 844 were very similar! I wish NYC have a chairman like the one Southern Pacific (that preserved 4449), Norfolk and Western (that saved 611), or the Union Pacific (that not only saved four FEF's, but kept running 844) have.

[@USSMaineBB-95]

These became my favorite locomotive They were the ultimate locomotive at the time, Until Norfolk and Western acquired the J Class Honestly the Niagara and J Class are almost on equal, I say this because the Niagara's had 60,000+ Tractive Effort and Some J's had 73,000 tractive effort and 611 herself has a tractive effort of 80,000 The advantage the Niagara's had was the water scoop on the tender and didn’t need to stop The J's had roller bearing side rods, self lubrication systems and bigger boilers So the Niagara and the J Class could be considered the strongest of the 4-8-4 wheel arrangement

[@09JDCTrainMan]

The Niagaras also had roller bearing side rods, but the Js also had roller bearings on their valve gear. The Js, like the Niagaras, also ride very smoothly even at speed despite having comparatively small 70" drivers. Both are still easily the best of the 4-8-4 wheel arrangement.

[@Drockthe3rd]

Thanks, think I'll be combining the 2 designs into 1

[@russellgxy2905]

@@09JDCTrainMan They’re both the best in terms of their different terrains. The J’s were vastly better climbers, and could easily sprint trains over 110 mph. At the same time, I don’t think they would be able to hold those speeds on the flat continuously. 610 only managed a maximum of 111 mph during its time on the Pennsy, but even with under half the mileage of the NYC, still managed to break its valve gear. The Niagara’s meanwhile were far more optimized for continuous, fast running. I don’t even know how they’d handle trains over long grades, being lightweight and having a serious drop in horsepower from the cylinders to the drawbar. At least we can say the Niagara would most likely be able to run anywhere thanks to being so short. I think they stood about a foot shorter than the J’s, and most other 4-8-4’s for that matter

[@09JDCTrainMan]

@@russellgxy2905 Terrains, yes. Also, from what I read, 610's valve gear only broke because she lost lubrication after traveling about 2,100 miles without refilling the lubricaters, not the 111 mph running. The fact that the J can even reach triple digit speeds at all with just 70" drivers is impressive to me. But yes, the Niagara should be faster by default due to having larger driving wheels. Still, it's true, the J is best 4-8-4 in the mountains while the Niagara is the best 4-8-4 on the flats.

While there, the NdeM officials saw one of the NYC’s Niagaras being constructed, and were highly impressed. So the NdeM decided to name their 4-8-4s after the Central’s own 4-8-4s.

Can someone explain to me what is the advantage difference between wheels arrangements? I.E. same driving wheel but different leading or trailing wheel : 4-8-4 vs 4-8-2 Or same leading and trailing wheel but different driving wheel : 4-6-4 vs 4-8-4.

[@TBone-bz9mp]

There are three main advantages of 4-8-2/4s over 4-6-2/4s: Greater acceleration Bigger boilers Larger Ashpans. Eight driving wheels are going to move more faster than six, it can support a longer and taller boiler and so has more steaming capacity and a four wheel rear truck is going to allow for a much bigger ash pan and firebox. So it can burn more fuel and a lower grade of it. The downside is that the engine is very long, very ridged and you need to be sure it’ll have work to do for it to be economical.

NIAGARA FALLS! Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch

[@AndrewTheRocketCityRailfan4014]

I do get why the Hudson’s and Niagaras went extinct. NYC was in bad financial shape because of that stupid overregulation and non rail competition. On top of that Alfred E Perlman couldn’t be lenient on preservation because his railroad needed to get as much scrap value from their steam locomotives as possible. Either you buy that locomotive at scrap value(such as 3001), or you watch it get scrapped. It was a sacrifice that was needed to help keep the railroad afloat in the long run, eventually getting the railroad back in shape before 1962. That was what ultimately led to Perlman allowing his railroad to give 2933 to the NMOT.

The Niagaras did not have a 3 chime Hancock long bell whistle. They came from ALCO with a 6 chamber chime whistle (probably manufactured by Nathan). The WABCO (Westinghouse Air Brake Company) Pneuphonic air horn was added to the Niagaras between 1946 and 1947 in response to engineers stating that they could not hear the 6 chime whistle when running at track speed in bad weather with the cab windows closed. It was mounted on the boiler in front of the engineer's side of the cab. The New York Central Standards book specified the use of a 3 chamber "long bell" whistle for all locomotives operating on the Putnam and Harlem divisions and all K-11 Pacifics running on the River division. This information was taken from the book Know Thy Niagaras by author Thomas Gerbracht.

Funny thing about the S-2a. Its tender was actually slightly different than the rest of the Niagara’s too, a PT-6. Same wheel layout, same 9ft+ overhang, but it held a ton more coal and I think 2,000 gallons less water. Why they thought water capacity needed to be lower when the Niagara boilers already had high steam rates and added a ton more coal when the 5500 actually burned _less_ coal than its older siblings, I have no clue. It also had pitfall as the PRR T1 in being a bit too powerful for its motion. Franklin-Caprotti probably would’ve been fine, and NYC 5500 could’ve been the most powerful dual-service steam locomotive outside of articulateds and duplexes. Problem was the poppet valves, Type A, couldn’t accommodate the engine’s steaming rate. Had it been given Type B valves with rotary cams (as on PRR’s 5500), then it would probably be a much better performer. Definitely would’ve been a bit easier to maintain since Type A’s valves sit between the cylinders. It’s also why 5500 has its air pumps on the side instead of in front of the smokebox
