The following enumeration of surviving New York Central Steam locomotives was printed in the pages of the Central New York Chapter, NRHS Green Block by Richard Palmer. The list is a bit longer than we had previously imagined, but sorry, still no Hudsons!

If you have the details we will add it. The list comes from a list published from an online source several years ago and if there are other locos that have been missed, let us know.
There is a very interesting video that surfaced on Youtube 3 weeks ago entitled, “So we were walking in the woods…” It shows what is supposedly a Niagara Locomotive “Rolling Chassis with Boiler” that was found somewhere in the countryside of Pennsylvania on an abandoned siding. Decide for yourself…I would be interested on what other readers think and their comments on this!
