The Leviathan NO. 63

This highly sought after reproduction STEAM ENGINE will make its first visit to New York and the northeast for this event.

This replica is faithfully reproduced from the original design of the steam engine constructed at the Schenectady Locomotive Works in 1868 that was one of four commissioned by the Central Pacific Railroad.

This reproduction took 10 years to build and is full sized and standard gauge. It uses fuel oil rather than wood to power its engine.
