I wish they saved one of the Dreyfuss Hudson's. Man those things were gorgeous.

The sickening story behind that is, at the end of the steam era, many railroad and transportation museums and historic organizations tried to purchase many NYC locomotives to preserve for historic purposes, but the greedy owners of the NYC were too money hungry to do that. They thought they’d make more money by scrapping them. And so, they wanted to make scrap money rather than museum money. Hence why they scrapped almost all of their beautiful steamers and many vintage diesels as well. I hate the New York Central owners for this. Greedy selfish bastards. This is what happens when people care more about money rather than history. We’ll have no history to show people of future generations if money is everyone’s only concern.

@@BigBerk765 I know it sucks but we still have 2 surviving nycs niagras up in Illinois and somewhere else I don't remember where the second one is but the memories and videos shown by people is what keeps the memories of the Dreyfuss Hudson alive plus in the future I want to start my own channel of my custom American wooden railway steam locomotives with most of them beeing nonfaceless and 2 of faceless but they will use train tech to communicate with the them but one of them is a nonfaceless new york central Hudson

NYC was the quintessential north american Golden area railroad. The Dreyfuss, the Hudsons, the Niagras, their Streamline EMD diesels pulling the Grey coaches. All incredible nostalgic for all railroaders alike. It's very sad what happened to then in the end and to many of their amazing steam locomotives.

WITHIN THE OVAL, made in 1948, was an orientation film made for new employees. The NRHS has some of the original footage filmed by Fred Beach, on 16mm Kodachrome in their archives. An edited digital version appears on the Tom Coughland KZbin channel, who edited the video.

Conrail was still a Class 1 operation up until it was divided by CSX and NS in 1999.
