For those of you who may not trust my word, he is photographic proof that I was there!
The York is an absolutely gorgeous locomotive, replica or not! I only wished it burned wood or coal rather than recycled motor oil. (As the conductor stated while we rode the train) And as you can see, even though it's a replication of an 1860s ere steamer she's still pretty sizable! There was plenty of polished brass and ornate paint work on this fine locomotive. And she looked marvelous hauling their new "Period" coaches! Which also includes a combination car!! :eager:
I only wished I had more time, and longer battery life, to have taken more detailed photos.

The York is a combination of the UP 119 and the Jupiter, though it shares more with the 119.
The chassis, boiler, frame, and cylinders, cab, domes, and drive wheels are all based on the 119. Where as the tender, stack, bell, headlight and bracket, and smoke stack are based on the Jupiter. The pilot was a custom made feature to better represent a period NCRR locomotive.
