Description
Two of the Central's symmetrical Hudson types, engines 5204 and 5270, are caught in an idle moment at the East Syracuse fueling station. Both are of the J-1 class and were built by Alco in 1927 and 1928, respectively. Since then they have been equipped with larger tenders of the fourteen-wheel type, dubbed "PTs* by their builders, the General Steel Castings Corporation. Mikado 1819 and Hudson 5307 are visible further up the line. The two tracks in the immediate foreground are the high-speed passenger mains; note the cab-signal pickup device on the near rail.
