New York Central & Hudson River RR #999
Title:  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

NYC 999
Title:  NYC 999
Description:  Though the 86-inch wheels were great for speed, they were not so great for control, as the engine would slip when pulling more than 5 cars. That is why it was later rebuilt with the 70-inch wheels.
