New York Central Niagara

609:. This allowed a larger coal capacity—46 tons—so the Harmon, New York to Chicago run (928.1 miles) could be done with one stop for coal. The stop was at Wayneport, New York: 14 miles east of Rochester, which left 602.2 miles to Chicago via the Cleveland lakefront. This worked with the 46-ton coal capacity of the PT tenders, though coal was fairly low in the tenders by the time La Salle Station was reached, with an approximate mileage of 15 miles per ton of coal for such a high-horsepower steam locomotive. To fit within the existing turntables, the tender had an overhang of over 9 feet beyond the last pair of wheels. 602:. This application of the "Franklin System of Steam Distribution" was very similar to the existing Type A, but a different valve layout lead to the official designation of FSSD or Franklin Type A1. The Niagaras did not have steam domes, as did most steam locomotives, which resulted in a smooth contour along the top of the boiler. A perforated pipe collected steam instead. This was necessary because of the lower loading gauge (height clearance restrictions) of the New York Central (15 ft 2 in versus 16 ft 2 in (4.93 m) for other American railroads), particularly east of Buffalo. 598:
as an increased boiler pressure of 290 psi. This was to maintain the S-1a's initially higher tractive effort and compare boiler efficiencies with the S-1b. The last Niagara, also delivered in 1946 as the New York Central's last steam locomotive, was Class S-2a No. 5500, dubbed the "Super Niagara." The locomotive was mechanically identical to the S-1b's, but instead of Baker gear and piston valves, it had Franklin

firebox while the locomotive was still in steam and cleared all of the tubes, repaired the brick arch, etc. As the temperature inside the firebox itself would have been well over 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 C), and the working area these maintenance workers would have been standing on was the still-hot firebars of the grate, all references describe these workers as 'heroic'.

The first Niagara was Class S-1a No. 6000, delivered in March, 1945; the S-1b's (6001-6025) were delivered in 1945 and 1946. All S-1's were equipped with Baker valve gear, but S-1a No. 6000 was built with 75 in. driving wheels. It later received 79 in. wheels like the S-1b's were built with, as well

The entire series was retired and scrapped between late 1955 and July, 1956, with #6015 the last engine to go. (S2a #5500 was retired earlier, in 1951, and served as a spare-parts supply for the other Niagaras until 1956). The reason that none of the NYC Niagara locomotives survive in preservation

All 27 locomotives received weekly maintenance at Harmon, while overhauls were carried out at Beech Grove in Indiana. Despite the size limitations imposed on the design, the Niagaras were the largest locomotives on the New York Central, and Beech Grove was the only shop on the railroad that could
693:
The six days per week running schedule of these locomotives meant that all of the maintenance work normally done over the course of that week would have to be done on one day. This meant a specialized system was developed, where men in "hot suits" (asbestos heat-resistant coveralls) entered the

The results were much closer than the diesel salesmen were comfortable with, but these steam locomotives were hampered by several factors: a series of coal miners' strikes; aggressive dieselization sales efforts; and a failure of the highly-expensive firebox-wrapper metallurgy to withstand the

Six of these locomotives were chosen by their designer, Paul W. Kiefer, for the famous 1946 Steam Versus Diesel road trials, where the 6,000 hp (4,500 kW) Niagaras were put up against some 4,000 hp (3,000 kW) diesels (E7's). The locomotives were run along the 928.1 miles

is the best-known, the design was actually quite new. Some steam experts have claimed the Niagara to be the ultimate locomotive, as it had the speed of an FEF (the Union Pacific's nickname for their 'four eight fours' was FEF) and the power of Northerns with smaller driver wheels.

accommodate them. Their high utilization resulted in somewhat frequent overhauls. 1950 and 1951 each saw 15 Niagaras overhauled, but the total number of overhauls undertaken in the former year was 16 due to S-1b No. 6006 receiving Class 3 repairs

and David Wardale. These designers based their modern steam locomotives on the experience gained with these Niagara-class locomotives: reliability and a close attention to details, leading to a reduction in maintenance costs.

The first Niagara was ordered in 1931: No. 800, an experimental locomotive that had its boiler divided into three sections of different pressure. This was another failed experiment in

These locomotives had a small water capacity (18,000 US gallons; 68,000 liters) in the tender, because the New York Central was one of the few railroads in North America which used
