If Only We Saved: The Niagara

The New York Central Niagara was the last effort by those who really wanted to see steam motive power continue and prosper on American railroads. As they rolled out of Alco’s workshops the new Niagara locomotives were put to work hauling the increasingly heavy passenger trains of the post war period. However, with the increasing popularity of diesel power, the New York Central was in dire hurry to scrap them. Sadly, none of the Niagaras were saved. However, only one representation of the Niagaras still lives on today. Completed in 1998 after 25 years construction, the accurate live steam replica 1/5 scale 10​1⁄4" gauge of 6019 is the largest known example of this extinct class in the world and works alongside a 1/5 scale NKP Berkshire at the private Stapleford Miniature Railway in the UK. This video demonstrates what could've happened if only we saved 1 Niagara.
