New York Central Class H7 Mikado Locomotives By Ray S. Curl Among the most interesting steam locomotives operated by the New York Central System were the H7 Class MikadosJ While all of these locomotives were built to a standard design, many of them acquired different tenders and a variety of appliances as they went through their careers. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the H7 fleet and to document the modifications made on specific locomotives. A total of 130 H7's were built for the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, Michigan Central, and Big Four in five subclasses as follows: Railroad LS&MS

NYC CLASSH7 The first H7's were constructed for the LS & MS to supplant consolidations in classes G5, G6 and G46. They were the first 2-8-2's on the Lake Shore, and were placed in service on the Toledo, the Eastern, and the Franklin Division. Tonnage ratings for each division were established as follows : H7 G16 Eastern Division - Collinwood - Seneca - Eastbound 4300 Tons 3200 Tons Eastern Division- Seneca- Collinwood -Westbound 3500 Tons 2600 Tons Franklin Division - Coalburg-Carson (Youngstown) 4300 Tons 3400 Tons (Test runs had an average of 100 cars and 6345 tons between Coalburg and Carson). 3500 Tons 3000 Tons Toledo Division- Both Directions

. The design, in general, followed the standards of the builder. The boiler was a cylindrical or straight-top type, 86" O.D. at the first course. The firebox featured a radial stay arrangement with two firedoors. No combustion chamber was provided . A type 'A' superheater was incorporated. To obtain additional strength without increased weight, vanadium steel was used in the main frame ~, driving axles, driver springs, tender truck springs, main and side rods, and piston rods. Vanadium cast iron was used in the cylinders. Walscherts valve gear with 16" diameter piston valves was specified.

Four, No's, 6150 ,6 154,6164, and 6179 also received a pair of front-mounted air compressors. CCC & STL 6165, 6175, and 6196 received single front-mounted compressors, mounted on the left side of the pilot deck.

By 1917 , the Lake Shore had 35 H7's in service, No's. 40004034 . Before the end of the same year, 25, NYC 4010-4034, were sold to the Michigan Central, becoming MC 7950-7959 and MC 7935-7949 . This sale may have been due to the arrival on the former LS & MS of some new Ll class 4-8-2's. These locomotives were better suited to the fast freight schedules on mainline between Toledo, Ohio and Seneca Yard, Buffalo, New York.

After the initial rash of modifications in the 1920's, the Big Four did little to change their H?'s until the mid-1940's. The only significant changes befo re tha t time was the removal , before 1936, of the Worthington feedwater heater from the 6164 , and the removal of the Elesco and Sellers exhaust stea m injectors from 18 H7e's between 1940 and 1946.

At the sa me time (late 1913) the LS & MS was receiving its H7b's, the Michigan Central was taking delivery of its first 2-8-2's, classes H7c and H7d . By the end of 1917 , the Michigan Central had 60 H?'s on the roster, including the 25 purchased from the LS & MS . No further orders of H?'s were made until 1920, when 60 H7e 's were built. Ten of these went to the Michigan Central and 50 went to the Big Four, the first H?'s received by that NYC affiliate .

It should be noted that the Pittsburgh a nd Lake Erie and the Pittsburgh, McKeesport and Youghiogheny purchased 10 H8a 2-8-2's in 1916. Essentially the H8 's were identical to the H7's, except that the former had smaller 57" driving wheels. A total of 40 H8 's were built, the last in 1920. The H7e 's were similar to earlier H7 subclasses, but they were 6,000 pounds heavier. Most of the increase in weight was due to the addition of Dl duplex strokers. Steam pressure was increa sed by ten pounds, raising tractive effort to 59,000 pound s. The H7e 's developed 51, !50 pound s of drawbar pull when starting. The boiler tube and flue arrangement was modified , and the superheater surface wa s increased to I , 163 square feet. The tender furnished with the H7e's was the standard USRA light Mikado design with a waterscoop on the Michigan Central locomotive tenders. The basic design of the H7e 's served as a starting point for the development of Michigan Central- 8000, the first HIO . This locomotive, built in May 1922, was the first of Lima 's famous superpower locomotives. After obser.ving the successful operation of new H- IO 's on the Big Four in 1922 and 1923 , the mechanical engineers at Indianapolis decided to upgrade the H7e fleet in an attempt to obtain better performance and improved fuel and water economy. By 1929 , 34 of the 50 Big Four H7e 's had received feed water hea ters or exhaust steam injectors. CCC & STL 6164 was o ne of the very few locomotives on all New York Centra l lines to receive a Worthington BL-2 side mounted feedwater heater. Twenty-four H7e 's received Delta trailing trucks with C-1 or C-2 boosters, while two locomotives, CCC & STL 6165 a nd 6175 received Delta trailing trucks without boosters. In 1926, five H7e's obtained new, larger tenders with sixwheel trucks. These tenders , identical to those applied to the big four H!Oa's a t that time, had a capacity of 15 ,000 gallons of water and carried 18 tons of coal. The locomotives were the 6153,6156,6157,6158 and 6159. Feedwater heaters had been previously a pplied to these five locomotives, before the end of 1924.

The 26 H7e 's to receive Delta trailing trucks also acquired 72" long cabs at the same time. This smaller, more compact cab replaced the original90" design. While it is possible that the 72" cabs were new when applied to the H7e's , it is also possible that they may have been removed from H lOa's and H lOb's , which were receiving 82" cabs at approximately the same time .

By World War II , the original D-1 stok ers were in poor condition. All but six a re believed to have been replaced by HT stokers during the 1940's. After 1950, many H?'s received ha nd-me-down tenders from scra pped locomotives including Ale's, K5b's, and H IO's, or J I tanks made available when the H ud so ns received PT tenders. At the sa me tim e, the appearance of ma ny H7 e's was further modified by the application of lower and larger sa ndb oxes. It is not known if these were new or seco nd hand. They may have bee n removed from J I 's or L2's, which were being equipped with new sand domes. Except for No. 1994, which was wrecked and scra pped in 1944, all of the Big Four H7 e 's remained on the roster until late in 1954. One locomotive , 1977 , had the distinction of being the la st operational New York Central steam locomotive . It finished its duties in transfer se rvice on May 2nd, 1957 a t Riverside Yard, Cincinnati. Several H?'s sa t idle for almost two years a nd were not formally retired until 1959 . The ten LS & MS H7a's, 4000-4009 were fairly short-lived. All were off the roster by October, 1933 . The fact th a t they ha d not bee n upgraded probably co ntributed to their ea rly retirement. None received stokers or feedwaters; the only change appears to ha ve been tenders. Existing literature and build er's photos state the tenders were of7,500 gallon, 12-ton capacity. Early LS & MS diagram s show 8,000 gallon, 14-ton tend ers. Two LS & MS H7a's , 4000and 4009, were sold in 1930 to the Montour Railroad , becoming their40 and 41 . The remaining 8 were scra pped in 1933 . The Michigan Central was not idle with their 70 H?'s, including the 25 pu.rchased from the LS & MS in 1917. All a re believed to have been assigned to service in the United States, as were the 10 H7e's of 1920 . Probably no MC H7's were tra nsferred to Canadian service until the arrival of the MC H IO's between 1922 and 1924. The H IO 's became the mai nstay of Michigan Central freight power in the United States, until the di esels, L2's and L4's pushed them aside in 1953 . The MC started modernizing their H?'s with feedwater hea ters and stokers at approximately the same time as the big four. Forty-five out of six ty H7a through H7d 's were equipped with Elesco feedwater heaters. U nlike the CCC & STL H7e's , with their Elesco heaters in a sha llow depress ion in the s mokebox ahead of the stack the M C H?'s carried their Elesco feedwater hea ters high on the smokesbox front in the manner of the H IO 's. None of the MC H7e's received feedwater hea ters. Eighteen MC H7a 's through H7d's were equipped with Delta truck s and Franklin C-1 or C-2 booster engines. The 2033 may have received a Delta truck , but photographic evidence has not bee n found. Although all MC H7e's were built with Cole tra iling trucks , at least 8 were later equipped with Delta trailing

trucks without boosters. The 2063 was never equipped with a Delta tra iling truck. A 1940-1953 photograph of the 2064 has not been found to date , so no concl usion can be reached concerning the trai ling truck on this locomotive. Unlike the Big Four H7e's with Delta trailing trucks, the MC H7 classes all retained their origina l 90" cabs. MC H7 1 in service after 1938 were equipped with Precision reverse gear and standard stokers. The I0 H7e 's were built with D-1 stokers, but most acquired HT stokers in the 1940's. No. 2068 retained her origina l stoker, and it is possible that the 2064,2065 and 2066 may have retained D-1 's as well. The older MC H7a, b, c & d classes, which were originally handfired , a ll received HT stokers.

Many of the MC H7's traded tenders or received higher coal board s to increase fuel capacity. In later years, many of the locomotives received new, larger sandboxes. Most of the M C 2-8-2 's sported pilots rather than the usual NYC footboards. The Elesco feed water heater equipped H7's assigned to Canadian service had extra hand holds on the front end of the locomotive . Several were equipped with snowplows in the winter.

The next weight change of any consequence occurred in 1948, when locomotives boosters were removed. This brought about a ·slight reduction in locomotive weight as follows: Class Big Four H7e Big Four H7e MC H7c MC H7b, c.

Drivers 250,000 244,000 246,600 247,400

The Big Four still had the heaviest mikes on the New York Central. The H lOa's, which were the second-heaviest 2-8'2's, were now li sted at 333,500 pounds after removal of boosters. This placed them in third place, as many of the M C H7's a lso weighed more . The great tender switch, which started about 1950, found the following classes of tenders behind the Big Four H7e's: Tender Class Loaded Weight 295,600 A Ic Jlb,c 280,700 K5b 282,500 HIOa 276 ,000 Ll 286,000 MC H-7-A , B, C, & D's: Tender Class Loaded Weight 210 ,800 JIb Original 206,800 H lOa Original 168 ,900 H7 Original 206 ,800 K5b Original H6a or H7e . 186,700 or 185 ,700

Later assignments of most H7's remained the same as their 1925-1940 duties. Both Michigan Central and Big Four locomot ives stayed, in general, on their home roads. There were, however, several exceptions. No . 1972 (ex . Big Four) was found working on the Michigan Central in its last days. MC 2020 and 2040 were reassigned to the Big Four in the mid1950's. During World War II and shortly thereafter, several MC H7's operated between Gibson, Indiana on the I HB and Lyons Yard near Danville, Illinois on local and turnaround freights. Locomotives 200 I, 2020, 2021, and 2059 were known to be operated in this service. The 28 M C H7's assigned to the Canadian division were 2003, 2004 , 2007, 2013, 2014, 2016 , 2017, 2018 , 2022, 2026, 2030 , 2031 , 2032, 2034, 2036, 2042, 2043,2044,2046 , 2048 , 2049 , 2050 , 2051,2052,2053,2054,2055 and 2058. Later operating districts and assignments for the H7's were: MC Canada Division - Mainline freight trains and locals Windson, Ontario Yard and Suspension Bridge, N.Y. Transfer service at Niagara Frontier area. MC-US, Detroit, Michigan and West Divisions- Mainline freight train helper, usually with an H 10 2-8-2. Local freights and work trains. - Primary- Freight power on Grand Rapids branch . Frequently used as helper with an H 10 on the Macinaw City branch freight trains, No's. 209 and 210, north of Saginaw, Michigan. Also transfer service power in Detroit, Michigan. Passenger train extras, especia lly Notre Dame football trains between Niles, Michigan and Notre Dame, Indiana. May have powered Michigan football specia ls to Ann Arbor.

Often doubleheaded with a U3 class 0-8-0 NYC Line West-Western DivisionInfrequently used on Danville sub-d ivi sion for local power. Rare on through road freights . The H7's may have operated regularly on other parts of the Michigan Central and Big Four, but the author is unaware of further assignments. These locomotives were among the old est steam power in service on the NYC during the 1950's. No doubt the economica l performance and ease of maintenance kept them in operation long after newer power had been retired. It is hoped that this article will shed a little light on the careers of these interesting locmotives. Members of the society and their friends are encouraged to search for additional photographs and records of these locomotives. Employees who operated and worked on the H-7's are welcome to share their memories and experiences.
