@Norton posted:I have been trying to find photos but no luck so far but supposedly the 4-6-6Ts pulled commuter trains between Buffalo and Niagara Falls in the ‘40s. Then replaced by Budd cars, Beeliners in NYC parlance, shortly after. I was too small to hold a camera, let alone get out and take pictures at the time.

I seem to remember hearing that after coming over from the B&A, these locomotives were used in commuter service in the Buffalo area. But, I have found nothing to support this.
The photos that have turned up show #1297 in Dewitt, NY (East Syracuse) looking like it's still in service, #1295 in Watertown, NY looking like it's still in service, #1299 in Watertown, NY and #1298 white lined in Watertown, NY.
Only two looked like they had been legitimately re-lettered and renumbered for the New York Central and that lettering varied:
#1295
#1297
The others looked like they had been hastily numbered and lettered by the local shop.
It appears that all 5 of these locomotives, #1295 - #1299 were in service on the New York Central for less than a year.
