In 1903 New York City banned the use of steam locomotives south of the Harlem River by July 1, 1908. Forced to find alternative options, the New York Central began to electrify the lines into Grand Central.
By the 1960s, the NYC was operating a variety of electric locomotives. This book examines these engines. There is coverage of the S Motors, which by the 1960s were largely used for switching operations, T Motors which handled most of the passenger operations and the large P Motors.
There are even some rare photographs of the last of the R Motors in freight service.
While the majority of the coverage features the New York Central, there is some coverage of the S and P motors in Penn Central service.
The book also covers the New York Central's MU cars in both NYC and Metro-North liveries. Coverage concludes with the Niagara Junction E10B electrics that were operated by the MTA.
