Description
This "New York Central in Central New York" 2023 calendar published by the Central NY Chapter, National Railway Historical Society is the fifth calendar in this series.
This special edition features the never-before-published Marchant family photographs. "Ralph Marchant started his railroad career in 1906 when he was in his twenties with the Marion Railroad. In 1918, he moved to Syracuse to work for the New York Central. He first served as fireman, then a switch locomotive engineer, later moving up to the Western Division. He only operated steam locomotives and didn't welcome the transition to the diesel era. Ralph passed away from pneumonia while still employed as an engineer for the New York Central in 1957. Ralph's son, Dick, photographed his father on the job and his photographs are featured in this calendar."
