[4K] Northern Central Steam Train

Northern Central Railway 4-4-0 17 "York" leads passenger trains along the original NCRR tracks out of New Freedom, PA as far north as Howard Tunnel. The York puts on a great show as it tackles the grade back to New Freedom.

This 4-4-0 was built new in 2013 as a representation of a typical 1860s era locomotive. It was built by David Kloke of Elgin, IL based on blueprints of the locomotives at the Golden Spike, which included Central Pacific "Jupiter" 60 and Union Pacific 119. The York operated diligently for the next decade on the old Northern Central Railway.

With "York" now down for its 1472-day inspection, now shipped to the Strasburg Rail Road for full rebuild, consider this a finale for now.
