A Nice, Long Walk Up the Hudson This Afternoon...

...led me to this gem...New York Central's locomotive 8625, located at Riverside Park at about 62nd Street, right under the Joe DiMaggio (West Side) Highway. This is on the site of what used to be the West Side Yards. Check these out.











Interior Cab




Coupler






Controls


Further up, you can find the remnants of the New York Central's Car Transfer Bridge, located at about 69th Street.













The Empire Connection on that same path along Riverside Park, at about 142nd Street.




Hope you have enjoyed. Thank you for viewing!

hate to break it to you, but "8625" was never a Central locomotive. She's actually Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal Railroad #25

Ahhh good old BEDT 25 I loved her better in bicentennial colors as I remember back in 1976 I lived across the street from BEDT Kent Ave yard.

Thanks for the heads up. I walk along there once in a while but I haven't been south of 66th St in a long time.

Nice catch!!! Never even knew that was around there!!! :-)

Of note about railfanning the Empire Line around that area, there is a rather attractive 30-something Spanish woman, YES A RAILFAN, who frequently shoots Youtube videos around that area and posts numerous videos on Youtube. Some on here might know of her, her name is Monica Matos. When you see her, you might very well have trouble watching the trains!! TRUST ME!! ;-)

She frequents the Hudson Line too.
