This New York Central engine had an interesting history, and there aren't very many NYC engines left. The 6721 was built for the NYC&HR in 1913-1914 as #621. It then became NYC #621 from 1914-1936. Then became #6721 1936-1953. It was then sold to Central Illinois Public Service and numbered #7 from 1953-1965. In 1965 it was donated to the Mid-Continent Ry. Museum in North Freedom, WI. and arrived here in November of 1965. It was later sold to Carillon Park in Dayton Ohio in 1980. When it left Dayton I am not sure, but I am sure someone out there will finish the history of 6721's journey back to New York.
