Description

NYCS J-1a,b,c Photo Collection

The New York Central Hudsons were a series of the 4-6-4 "Hudson" type steam locomotives built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and the Lima Locomotive Works from 1927 to 1938 for the New York Central Railroad. Named after the Hudson River, the 4-6-4 wheel arrangement came to be known as the "Hudson" type in the United States as these locomotives were the first examples built and used in North America. Built for high-speed passenger train work, the Hudson locomotives were famously known for hauling the New York Central's crack passenger trains, such as the 20th Century Limited and the Empire State Express. With the onset of diesel locomotives in the mid 20th Century, all Hudson locomotives were retired and subsequently scrapped, with none preserved today except for a converted tender from J-1e 5313 which is preserved at the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
