Hi.
can me anyone give some info´s (or pictures) of NYC work cars which was in work trains of cranes(exspecially with crane X15).
Thank you very munch!
The National New York Central Museum at Elkhart, Indiana has a former NYC wrecker and at least one car to go along with it. That one car looks like it was a passenger car with most of the car body above the frame removed to look like a flat car but with an enclosed end. It also has truss rods under it. I I believe this would be the car attached to the wrecker.
If you join this yahoo group http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/NYC-Railroad/ you should be able to have your questions answered and photos shared.
I recall seeing photos of NYC wrecking trains in the past Central Headlight magazines put out by the NYCSHS and NYC books. Support cars were usually second hand wood or heavyweight passenger cars depending on the era.
