- The New York Central Railroad once operated an expansive 26,000-mile railroad system that connected the Great Lakes region to the Eastern United States. The New York Central System reached Fort Wayne via the Fort Wayne and Jackson line and for many years the railroad's famous 20th Century Limited passenger train traversed through Butler, Kendallville, and Waterloo, Indiana. Very little evidence of the New York Central is left in Fort Wayne, but the railroad's Cass Street depot survives to this day as a bike and kayak rental shop. Service on Fort Wayne line ended in 2000 and the connection between Fort Wayne and Waterloo was torn up in the 1970s. The New York Central merged with the Pennsylvania Railroad on February 1st, 1968 and became PennCentral until it went bankrupt and became Conrail in April 1976.

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.
Notice how michigan glove got a pointing thumbs up.
Same with the rest of them. All 275 Hudsons were beautiful.
That I couldn't agree more
@@6709ify 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
I love the Hudsons! Especially the Dreyfuss ones. Great railroad. 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
I didn't know that NYC went to Ft.Wyan! Cool.
very nice documentary!
My grandpa used to be a breakman on the 20th century limited, sadly no Dreyfuss Hudson’s of the NYC are saved.
Ghost of the Rails (if you know I mean)
Are you gonna do Southern, N&W, Reading, or new haven?
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 RUclips channel, who edited the video.
Wait is there a documentary about the central of New Jersey railroad cause I’m from NJ and I hope 765 goes back to steam town for the 2021 rail fest
The NYC j3-A Dreyfuss Hudson got scrapped so fast built in 1938 scrapped in 1939
The Dreyfuss hudsons weren't scrapped in 1939 but there streamlined shroud was removed in the early 1940s

Train likes you! 👍
However Conrail became CSX in 1986.
Conrail was still a Class 1 operation up until it was divided by CSX and NS in 1999.
