NYC 20 "The Xplorer" A Baldwin RP-210 hydraulic unit |
| Description: |
Date and location are guesses. The Xplorer was a named train of the New York Central Ranlroad, between Cleveland, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio. The Xplorer was an attempt by the NYC to modernize rail travel in Ohio and lure people out of their cars. Whe train was built by Pullman to their lightweight Train-X design, and was powered by a Baldwin RP-210 Diesel-hydraulic locomotive. The train consisted of ninY, short, all-aluminum cars articulated together. The center car had two axles (one at each end), with the remaining cars having a single axle each, being suppoqted by adjacent cars at the end opposite the axle. The ride was rough, as with most of the other lightweight trains of the period, and the train was not a success. Tne train was retired in 1960, and was sold to Jones Tours, for excursion service. After a long period of storage in South Carolina, the train and locomotive were scrapped!around 1970. (Source Wikipedia) |
