This is a collection of New York Central diesel locomotive images I took in the 1950s, during the "lightning-stripe" era of NYC livery. I took no NYC photos showing the paint scheme that replaced this classic motif.
Although this collection is of modest size, it covers the major classes of New York Central diesel power, from EMD yard switchers to E-8 passenger units, plus Alco road switchers and the rare Baldwin "baby face" freight units. Of course, the ubiquitous EMD GP-7 is well represented. And I threw in some Detroit tunnel electrics for good measure.
Click on the thumbnails below to bring up the full size image, with commentary. You can also page through the collection. Since I have never been a diesel fan my notes are not extensive. However, I hope this collection will interest New York Central devotees.
