Heya, sorry this video took 3 damn years to come out, I just never got around to making it and it kept getting put aside for other videos I had in mind lol. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this first episode and please let me know what you think. I know the format is essentially identical to Engines of Amtrak but still, I appreciate any feedback I can get if just in case I can improve something. More commentary videos hopefully coming soon as well. I haven't had the energy or motivation to make big videos like this recently due to college projects, but I'm gonna try my best to keep commentary videos coming. I'm also gonna try to stick to my plan of 1 "Engines Of" video per 1-2 months so for example, next month in October or November, I'll do the remake episode for Engines of Amtrak Metroliner. Then after the Metroliner remake, I'll do the Engines of New York Central Mohawk episode, and repeat the pattern for the Engines of Amtrak remakes that remain and new Engines of New York Central episodes. But of course with college in the way, this schedule might not always work out. Thanks for your patience in the time it took this video to be made, very sorry once again, but thanks for watching!
there have been a few attempts at building a new Hudson before but sadly nothing came of either one of them given one of those two projects was spearheaded by Penn Central of all companies, and the other done by a bunch of schmucks on Facebook who didn't have anything to show of their project other than lip services, I hate to say it but I think the Hudson's will never come back alas
What a horrific shame. Rail history is so frustrating, because so often, it ends with "There were none preserved". It drives me crazy! Lovely episode, though. Very informative, a great introduction piece for both the series and the locomotive.
I completely agree with you about the Hudson being the epitome of a steam locomotive. I would love to see a video on the Niagara. That was a phenomenal locomotive. Thank you 😊
It’s a damn shame that all the Hudsons have been scrapped, since they were so popular. Should’ve saved one, or, someone could build one from scratch like the T1 Trust
My absolute favorite locomotives and railroad! I've closely examined their history for years. The Hudsons were gorgeous yet extremely efficient. They were the epitome of aestheticly pleasing locomotive designs aswell as the epitome of locomotives with 6 drivers. It's a massive disgrace none survive today. Excellent video!
There kinda is a replica. The Sonoma Traintown Railroad in Sonoma, California has a 15-Inch Gauge 4-6-4 “Hudson” that is almost based on the NYC Hudson. But numbered 5212, which no Hudson’s have a that number.
Great video on the iconic Hudson! I still learned a few new things from this! If a Hudson did survive into preservation, even a streamlined one, it would no doubt be a celebrity! I think it is very possible that a replica of a Hudson, streamlined or not, is possible. If a Pennsylvania T1 is being revived, then so can the Hudsons! Whose with me on this future?!
While I salute the efforts of the group making a new T1, I would have preferred seeing a Hudson. Although the T1s were definitely distinctive (internally and externally), they weren't really successful, as they gave the Pennsy fits trying to solve the troubles they had. Pretty much the entire run of 52 locomotives was withdrawn from service within a decade.
@@moosecat that's why the T1 Trust was made, because the PRR T1 wasn't really a proven design like the Hudsons. They already proved their worth, now we need to see what a T1 can do. Part of the reason why T1s weren't proven was because the crews back in the day were so used to aging K4 class Pacific's. The Trust is making the adjustments to operate the T1 at its best potential, such as a different Type B Rotary-Cam Poppet Valve Gear instead of a Type A, improving the springbed, the T1 being built as an oil burner, and training their crews how to operate a 300 PSI Duplex steam locomotive.
Thank you for an excellent video. I live in the UK and admire US steam locos. A great shame no Hudson was preserved. I appreciate that we cannot keep examples of every piece of railroad equipment, but it would be wonderful if one Hudson and one Niagara still existed. They, together with the N&W J class and Pennsy T1, were very much the pinnacle of steam locomotive design and efficiency. Perhaps a trust will be established to build one, as has happened in the cases of other extinct types. I'm looking forward to seeing the T1 that is currently being built.
The Hudsons were great, and were iconic, beautiful, and great runners. Thank you very much for making such wonderful videos like these even while you are busy in University. This is a great new series I have been highly anticipating. Perhaps at some point you can make a "Engines of Pennsylvania Railroad" series, that would also be nice.
...and which would allow him to cover one of my favorites, the PRR GG1. Four different owners over the years (PRR, PC, Conrail, Amtrack), and many more years of service than one would expect from a class of locomotive. Only retired because the frames were cracking to pieces.
Oh man! The Streamlined J-3s Hudson was my favorite train when I was a kid after seeing then time and time again on I love Toy Trains. I still wish we still had at least 1 left.
One of my favorite NYC locomotives are the little 2-4-4t D class engines. Their funny little designs make me happy and it's always fun seeing the US make use of tank engines.
I've always seen that class of locomotive mostly in I Love Toy Trains and they are such beautiful looking steam engines on the New York Central. I was sad to hear that all of them have been scrapped after many years of good working service. They still look beautiful with their art-deco streamlined casing or their first early appearances. When Connor was first introduced in Thomas the Tank Engine via King of the Railway, I was surprised to hear that he was based on that class of engine that I've watched in childhood and why else, it's a class of steam engine I remember from nostalgia, and I like him over Caitlin (mostly for that reason, nothing against Caitlin as she is still another great character. There's just something about Connor from what I can remember mostly from what I saw).
@@andrewtheberkshireengine4385 I wish they could’ve had Connor acknowledge that he’s from America and that he came to the Mainland to avoid being scrapped, as all of his Hudson brothers vot either cut up or managed to survive. Besides, he should’ve spoke about what it truely meant to be a famous streamliner, rather than just do races with Caitlin.
Missed fact: The j3s were given an added combustion chamber, a conical boiler for higher steam pressure and slightly smaller cylinders as improvements over previous classes
I am a life-long New York Central fan and modeler and very much enjoyed this video on NYC Hudsons. Thanks for making it and posting it on UA-cam. I look forward to your Mohawk (and hopefully Niagara) episode. Carl
A new series. Nice! You’ve joined in the steam club! I say that because I’m also doing my own series of this kind for locomotives used by the Pere Marquette. I’ve so far done the Ten-Wheelers, Atlantics, Pacifics, Moguls, and Consolidations, and am about to do the Mikados next, then the Santa Fe’s, and finally the Berkshires this Christmas
I wasn’t even alive for another 40 years after these trains were scrapped, but man, it is an absolute crime they didn’t keep one. The Dreyfus Hudson is by far IMO the best looking train to ever exist. What an absolute shame. At least the Union Pacific didn’t scrap all the big boys.
Totally forgot this was going to be a thing, huh. Good video. Maybe you could talk about the history of the FEC? It’s a super obscure railroad that has remained under appreciated.
Thank you AG!! I'm a huge fan of the 4-6-4 both NYC and ATSF a Hudson is a Hudson on any railroad. This is a great piece of work and one I'll watch over and over.
It sounds more tragic than strange that all the Hudsons were scrapped. But I get why. NYC was in bad financial shape because of that stupid overregulation and non rail competition. On top of that Alfred E Perlman couldn’t be lenient on preservation because his railroad needed to get as much scrap value from their steam locomotives as possible. Either you buy that locomotive at scrap value(such as 3001), or you watch it get scrapped. It was a sacrifice that was needed to help keep the railroad afloat in the long run, eventually getting the railroad back in shape before 1962. That was what ultimately led to Perlman allowing his railroad to give 2933 to the NMOT.
Ironically if my Memory serves me correctly I remember A Hudson Locomotive or a type Similar to the Hudson Being used in an Fairly OddParents Episode "Not Sure which Episode" Being used in a typical cartoon fashion and being dropped on one of the other Characters like an Anvil at the End of the Episode. Just further Concretes the famous Icon in pop culture.
Wonderfully done video. Even though as an American I'm more drawn to British designs, there really is something about a Hudson that really draws the eye. They truly do look like the epitome of American steam locomotive design. Especially in art deco design, they really do stand out and leave an ever lasting impression in your mind.
I didnt know this was Amtrakguy, I thought it was just some other trainz user. Still this is really informative. I font understand why schools can't ever teach like this.
It’s been a long time since I clicked on a video so quickly! So glad to see your incredible content style applied to yet another iconic railroad fleet! Hope school is going well for you, and thanks so much for the great videos!
Even though you didn’t get the episode done until three years later, you did still get there in the end. That being said, I’d say that this was worth the wait.
Thank you for presenting this piece on the NY Central Hudson locomotives, streamliners included. These were classic engines, only to be scrapped as junk when diesels replaced steam locomotives. It's nice to know that previous generations knew such designs provided good rail service. But it would be nicer if people today were to see these locomotives as museum items or be used as excursion vehicles, similar to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad in Ohio.
The New York Central Hudsons were magnificent locomotives, both in appearance and performance. They were world famous, so much so that one of the engineers of these engines on the Twentieth Century Limited, Bob Butterfield had his own radio show. I think it's a heartbreaking shame that not one of these engines was preserved. I am building a live steam 3/4" scale model of 5344. So in a way they live on😁 Jack

Only with the number 5212, which no New York Central steam locomotive has this number. It is a shame that none of the NYC Hudsons were preserved. But they are still remembered by the NYC history. The rest of Hudson No. 5313 could have been preserved at Steamtown National Historic Site.
I’d say the wait was worth every single minute as your content and editing quality has been getting more professional in these 2 or so years. Hell of a video!
I really enjoyed this one. I only recently discovered your channel and have been binging the Engines of Amtrak series. I knew of the Hudson and more specifically the Dreyfuss Hudsons but didn't really know much about them. This was an excellent presentation. Looking forward to the upcoming Metroliner and Mohawk videos. -Shane
It was worth the wait to learn about the history like that good job keep it up and I'll keep on waiting for the next one Cody Stacey nicknamed big boy will keep on chugging away over and out all aboard
Great video since I’m a Michigan central fan and a New York central fan this was a great episode and to be honest it was worth the wait because it developed into this.
I completely agree with you about the J-1 Hudson being the stereotypical steam engine. The A.C.Gilbert Co modeled the J-3 in 1939. Beautiful locomotives.
Nice job as usual; I’m looking forward to the next one. You do realize, of course, that you have opened Pandora’s Box and will now be inundated with requests for coverage of every rail system and engine type imaginable. So allow me to be among the first: I’d love to see a video on the early E units from E1 through E6, especially Seaboard Air Line’s E4’s and Burlington’s E5’s. That we be after you go through the entire NYC roster! I hope you have a lot of free time!! And best of luck to you.

Also my Aunt does have a Lionel model of the New York Central Commodore Vanderbilt locomotive.
You’re good, don’t worry just try not to do it again lol
Maybe you could do the NYC motors that takes express to a specific waypoint on the railroad like the ones that on park Avenue I believe
You know what they say, better late than never. Fantastic video nonetheless!
The wait was worth it
I've been looking forward to this for a while! Excellent video!
Hey coaster!
Love your videos coaster
Hello CoasterFan
Yoo!!!! You're here!
Collaboration please
This needs to be one of the steam engines that get built in the same vain as the A1 Peppercorn in England or the T1 here in the US.
Indeed
With the sculon disk drivers
@@Leatherface123. and the centipede tenders and maybe a removable streamlined jacket but that would be a later decision.
Hopefully the new Hudson get a new build without that ridiculous Niagara styled smokebox doors.
there have been a few attempts at building a new Hudson before but sadly nothing came of either one of them
given one of those two projects was spearheaded by Penn Central of all companies, and the other done by a bunch of schmucks on Facebook who didn't have anything to show of their project other than lip services, I hate to say it but I think the Hudson's will never come back alas
Better be Commodore Vanderbilt
What a horrific shame. Rail history is so frustrating, because so often, it ends with "There were none preserved".
It drives me crazy!
Lovely episode, though. Very informative, a great introduction piece for both the series and the locomotive.
*When the world needed it most, he delivered*
I completely agree with you about the Hudson being the epitome of a steam locomotive.
I would love to see a video on the Niagara. That was a phenomenal locomotive. Thank you 😊
Looks almost just like the Union Pacific FEF series. One of them being 844.
An American steam locomotive*
YES! Niagara !
@@saltbombcreations8336 The NYC Niagaras look better than the UP FEFs, imo.
It’s a damn shame that all the Hudsons have been scrapped, since they were so popular. Should’ve saved one, or, someone could build one from scratch like the T1 Trust
I know, I completely agree with you. Hey, at least we still have 611
Only a tender from one of the Hudsons was preserved. The tender was from the 5313 (formerly 502).

My grandfather was on the 999
NYC not preserving a Hudson:
Disgraceful, disguising, and despicable
The 5429 style of locomotive is my literal favorite steam locomotive of all time. So good.
this is amazing work! The Hudson's have a lot of history. Sometime hopefully a replica of a Hudson will be built in the future.
I agree.
It is worth noting that there are multiple Santa Fe 4-6-4s surviving, and at least one is being restored to operating condition.
@@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis That is good news.
There kinda is a replica. The Sonoma Traintown Railroad in Sonoma, California has a 15-Inch Gauge 4-6-4 “Hudson” that is almost based on the NYC Hudson. But numbered 5212, which no Hudson’s have a that number.

They should streamline NYC Mohawk #3001
I'm all in.
I’m with you. Actually I want TWO replicas. One streamlined and one unstreamlined.
This is a certified long hood classic
AYOOO ITS HERE

Yee
Oh man! The Streamlined J-3s Hudson was my favorite train when I was a kid after seeing then time and time again on I love Toy Trains. I still wish we still had at least 1 left.
The proper term is loco or engine. The train is the consist. That's literally putting the cart before the horse.
Funny thing is I'm a teen and I still am obsessed with railroadania
If only there had been enough foresight to realize that these engines in the future would be worth a whole lot more than their value in scrap metal.
This video is amazing most of the time I think of the streamlined Hudson locomotives and or unstreamlined Hudson locomotives
One of my favorite NYC locomotives are the little 2-4-4t D class engines. Their funny little designs make me happy and it's always fun seeing the US make use of tank engines.
If PRR fans are getting a T1 replica than us NYC fans deserve a J3A replica
First of all that t1 is a new build not a replica
Second of all I know who scraped the hudsons

Ive waited so long for my favorite Railway / Railroad to have its main engines talked about! Thanks!
Holy shit he actually did it
Finally! Father Jared has fed us the all new Engines of Amtrak New York Central!
It took only 3 years and an pandemic but the wait is officially over
A new series. Nice! You’ve joined in the steam club! I say that because I’m also doing my own series of this kind for locomotives used by the Pere Marquette.

The Dryfuss Hudson is my FAVORITE American Steam Locomotive. If the Brits can make a NEW Peppercorn A1. We CAN make a NEW Dryfuss Hudson!

Yes. In those days no one thought about rail preservation. They only considered scrap value.

Same here
Well done. I wish that at least one was preserved in a museum.

Me too but none survive into preservation except for the tender from the 5313.
This is a amazing episode I was waiting *3* years for this and now it’s out :D
Fantastic video about those great steam locomotives.👍👍 Thank you & greetings from Germany.

Excellent series, hanks for going to the effort to produce it. Looking forward to the Mikados!
I can't wait for the episode with the New York Central niagra class northerns.
It's about time... Thank you for finally doing this.
After 300,000 years, it’s finally here.
Literally bought the K&L Hudson yesterday, probably is the most stereotypical steam engine ever but I love it.

I actually own a Dreyfuss Hudson (Lionel 221 Pacific) that was used in the show.
@@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory Look out! You're going too fast!
That was fun! Can we do it again?
NYC 5452 and NYC 5428 are my two favorite Hudsons. The Commodore Vanderbilts, as far as I know, didn’t have numbers in _I Love Toy Trains._

Yeah and it should use 5313’s tender
Thank you for putting some of my favorites in a video!
I just purchased the hudsons on K&L’s website, what a surprise that this was posted 🤣
I’ve recently gotten into the NYC
Very nice
This was so nice to watch
Good old me memories of Railroad Tycoon. These are the longest, coolest locomotives.
Nice a new series
YESSSSSS THANK YOU, YOU HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!!!
Yes! Please more! That was hot.
After 3 years, Engines of New York Central is finally here!
Great video since I’m a Michigan central fan and a New York central fan this was a great episode and to be honest it was worth the wait because it developed into this.
*Long have I waited*
I completely agree with you about the J-1 Hudson being the stereotypical steam engine. The A.C.Gilbert Co modeled the J-3 in 1939. Beautiful locomotives.
Nice job as usual; I’m looking forward to the next one. You do realize, of course, that you have opened Pandora’s Box and will now be inundated with requests for coverage of every rail system and engine type imaginable.

That we be after you go through the entire NYC roster! I hope you have a lot of free time!! And best of luck to you.
Funny story, I was Amtrak's Babbling brook Private car twice and just to know that it was with the Hudsons makes me so happy.
This is wonderful I have been waiting
Wow. I honestly can't believe it. This was fantastic! Finally got it! I loved it. Worth the wait!
