                                NYC #999 out on a photo excursion run...

 

           caught up with it coming into town,  taking on more coal and water...

 

 Engine No. 999

Built at the West Albany yards of the New York Central Railroad in 1891, and the famous engine which drew the Empire State Express (beginning in 1891) for many years. In 1903 Engine 999 drew a train at a speed of 32 seconds for one mile, which stood as a record for ten years.
