Description Colorized photo from 1910Original title: Passenger (observation) locomotive train car of New York Central RRPhotographer: Bain NewsLocation: UnknownYou don't see this every day, this weird looking locomotive is known as a inspection locomotive. Often brightly painted, sporting pinstripes and brass. This luxury car, was for the top brass of the company. They inspected the tracks and all the other buildings. They had the best seats of the house, can't beat the view. Most large to mid-sized railroads had them. The engines had extra lagging on the boiler to make the cab bearable. They were popular from about 1870-1920. After WWI, the engines fell out of favor, and were replaced with more normal looking locomotives. The inspectors instead sat in luxury passenger cars. In both cases, they had a hand picked crew choosing on the best people. This particular locomotive was called the 'Cleveland', built in Collingwood, Ohio shops of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway. Part of the New York Central System in July of 1905 as a 4 cyl compound locomotive. Rebuilt to 2 cyl in 1908; the number 30 was dropped in 1922. The inspection cab was removed in August, 1930, and it was renumbered as #1011 class C-30. It was later used as a heating boiler in Dunkirk, NY until scrapped in 1948.
