Where did NYC use a H6 light Mikado in 1930-1935? Did they serve smaller branch lines together with a Consolidation? Did they do the required switching on small stations as the Consolidation did it?
Reinhard, this link lists which of the NYC's subsidiaries used the H6. However, it does not list to which divisions or yards they were assigned, or how they were used, which is the main point of your question. http://www.steamlocomotive.com/mikado/nyc.shtml Hopefully, someone with knowledge of the Central's steam operations in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois where the H6 was assigned will give you more information.
That's a good link, Hank, thanks for posting it. I'm trying to pull some ancient memories from my boyhood in Little Falls, NY, and I want to say that either a light Mike or a Consolidation (more likely) pulled the local on the Little Falls and Dolgeville sub. I'll bet Roger has some good info on the light Mikes in the midwest. :tb-biggrin:
