• Surviving New Haven Steam Engines?

  • Discussion relating to the NH and its subsidiaries (NYW&B, Union Freight Railroad, Connecticut Company, steamship lines, etc.). up until its 1969 inclusion into the Penn Central merger.

Are there any surviving NH steam engines except for the one B&P 4-4-0?
  by Statkowski
 
No.

And the B&P 4-4-0 is pre-NYNH&H, so it sort of doesn't count, either.

Where is that B&P 4-4-0 ? I'd like to see that. It would be similiar to the D.B.Torrey 4-4-0 that was involved in the Bussey Bridge Wreck in 1887. They were all named. Anyone know what name this one is ?

The B&P 4-4-0 is "Daniel Nason". It's in the St Louis museum (Natl Museum of Transport in Kirkwood MO). It's an inside-connected loco, preserved as a "relic" by the Old Colony RR and then the NYNH&H, since the late 1890s. Was donated to the "Great Danbury Fair" in the late 1940s by the New Haven, and when the fair closed in 1982, it was auctioned off. St Louis won the bidding and away it went.

I read on a different thraed that a NH tender survived into the 90's but was scraped.

Yes, there was a New Haven tender out in New Bedford, Mass (I think). that was used to store oil. It was cut up only a few years ago, there were no takers from what I understand (and the costs to remove the oil were astronomical).
