Well, its been just a bit over 3 years since I announced this video series and its finally happening! Sorry for the stupidly long wait, for some reason I just never got around to making this. Anyway, you're already familiar with the format of Engines of Amtrak so things won't be too different here. This time around though, I'll be discussing the history of some of the New York Central's more unique motive power. In this first episode, I'll be talking about the railroad's iconic and flagship engine class, the J Class Hudson. These locomotives were built to replace the aging Pacific type engines on passenger trains as the loads were becoming much too heavy. A Pacific could handle 12 heavyweight passenger cars at most and with increasing passenger numbers and company interest in speed, a new locomotive type was needed. This resulted in the first 464 built in the US. So how did the New York Central Hudsons get their name and how did they perform? You can now find out in this inaugural episode of Engines of New York Central!
