1902 American Locomotive Company Steam Locomotive as New York Central Lines No. 8085, November 1932

This Atlantic-type locomotive -- with four leading wheels, four driving wheels, and two trailing wheels -- was built to speed passenger trains along the Michigan Central Railroad's busy Detroit-Chicago mainline. Originally numbered 254, it was renumbered 7953 and later 8085. It was also re-lettered for New York Central Lines, Michigan Central's parent company. The Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad purchased the locomotive in 1926.
