 THE CAB OF THE
C&O 614 STEAM ENGINE
Photographs by Jeff Sumberg and Ron Yee
| At the 1997 Hoboken Festival, the C&O 614 steam engine was
there under steam. You could get a look inside the cab. Jeff Sumberg brought his camera.
Take a look! Ron Yee, a fellow Metro-North employee, brought his camera to Port Jervis in 1996 to
capture the 614 during it's maiden run. He was able to snap the picture below from a
vantage point that was not available on later trips. The old Erie Port Jervis station is
in the background.

wonderful machine. |
The staff from Iron Horse Enterprises was on
hand to answer questions. |

Another peek at the engineer's controls with
speedometer, steam and air gauges. The small brake handle is the independent brake for the
engine only. The larger handle under the speedometer is the automatic brake for the entire
train. |
