Fred Stuckmann	General	Really cool shots Bruce, thank you.	4/15/2012 10:02:28 PM

Randall Miles	General	This is not a Pacific, or a4-6-2. It is the first Mohawk, 4-8-2, purchased by NYC in 1916.	10/15/2012 2:36:08 PM

Bruce Phillips	General	Thanks for the correction, obviously this is not a Pacific, typo on my part.	1/14/2013 1:41:28 PM

Tom Beckett	General	Cool shot. A 4-8-2 anywhere else would be a Mountain type. On the NYC, not so many mountains-recall, their marketing line for passenger service was, "The Water Level Route-you can sleep," a direct slap at the Pennsy's mountainous route across PA, and their somewhat less than gentle train handling. Thus, the 4-8-2 on the Central honored the Water Level Route, being named after one of the main waterways it followed, the Mohawk River.	5/25/2022 3:38:23 AM
