The Mohawk Steam Locomotive - High-Speed Passenger/Heavy Freight - 3001 Did It All at 80 MPH!

The last generation of Big Steam, New York Central's #3001 Mohawk Steam Locomotive was designed to do it all. This amazingly versatile steam locomotive could transport passengers at 80 mph/130 kph, could carry the heaviest cargo, and did it all with the look of raw power you only get in steam engines. Join me as I visit NYC #3001, learn about its history, and its incredibly bright future.
