Rance,
The NYC museum is right at the throat of a major rail yard that was part of the
NYC/LS&MS Chicago-Elkhart-Toledo-NYC mainline. There are museums in New York
with NYC equipment - there is currently postings about one on one of the NYC
lists (name escapes me now - Adirondack something or other?).
This part of Indiana was a major part of the nation's transportation system.
The east/west LS&MS line and the north/south NYC/Big Four Michigan/Marion
Branch are still a major component of Norfolk Southern. (Before people get all
excited, parts of the former NYC in Ohio, Indiana and possibly elsewhere, went
to NS, not CSX.)
