New York Central & Hudson River RR #999 |
| Description: |
Built 4/1898 by the NYC&HR West Albany Shops. Donated to MSI in 1962. "On May 10, 1893 No.999 hit 112.5 mph. No one knows if this speed was actually reached so this is an unofficial record. However, given the characteristics of the locomotive (Max working pressure 184.5 psi, 86inch drivers) it was possible to go that fast. Today it's on display, much rebuilt, and with smaller drivers." from SteamInfo.com |

Chicago City Railway #532 |
| Description: |
This 1930 replica of a Grip Car represents Chicago's once vast (a one time the largest in the world) cable car system of the late 19th century. Cable cars operated by a grip car grabbing or releasing a moving underground cable. At the end of each line would be a loop taking the car a block over and back the way it came. Chicago’s Downtown is referred to as “The Loop” because of these cable cars, although; many Chicagoans mis-credit it to the Elevated Railroad loop, which was not constructed until the early 20th century. The electric motor made the cable car obsolete and the last run was made in 1906. This car was built by the Chicago City Railway in 1930 using the knowledge of the then retired cable men for the Museum of Science & Industry. |
