Description

The New York Central’s U-3c class was just one of many 0-8-0 designs utilized by the railroad. A total of (70) were built in 1922 by both the Lima Locomotive Works in Lima Ohio and the American Locomotive Company in Schenectady, NY, and all were based off earlier USRA designs. The (35) built by Lima operated at 175 psi and produced 50,060 lbs of tractive effort, while the (35) built by Alco operated at 180 psi and produced 51,490 lbs of tractive effort. All had 52″ drivers, as well as baker valve gear and power reversers. They utilized slightly shorter tenders than what the previous classes had, with a capacity of 11 tons of coal and 8200 gallons of water. Fully loaded, the engine and tender combined weighed in at 379,100 lbs.

The U-3c’s could be found systemwide from New York to Illinois, as well as on most of the NYC’s subsidiary lines handling switching of rolling stock and maneuvering locomotives in the shop areas. A few even found themselves on local freights on branchlines.

All were withdrawn from service by 1956, with the last being officially retired in 1959.
None of the (70) U-3c’s were preserved, nor were any of the nearly (700) other 0-8-0’s the railroad owned.

The NYC U-3c Switcher set includes: (3) Engines & (3) Tenders
