NYC ‘Empire State Express’ #999
NYC ‘Empire State Express’ #999
Reputedly the first locomotive to hit 100mph, but there’s no proof.
This post was made by the City of Truro gang
Claimed to be the first vehicle in the world to breach 100mph, the N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. 4-4-0 #999 is a late 19th Century 4-4-0. With huge wheels, a high boiler, and a big cow-catcher, these locomotives were iconic.
This mod was commissioned by NeighborKid, and they picked a good one.
