London & North Eastern Railway steam locomotive A3 class Pacific # 4472 (Flying Scotsman) with its train is seen while on the U.S. tour at Hartford Union Station, Hartford, Connecticut, October 13, 1969
London & North Eastern Railway steam locomotive A3 class Pacific # 4472 (Flying Scotsman) with its train is seen while on the U.S. tour at Hartford Union Station, Hartford, Connecticut, October 13, 1969. The photographer that took this photo was Allan W Styffe. This station was a former New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company property, but at this time was operated by PC (Penn Central).
The crowd is really out to see this steam locomotive and train.
Most of the visitors are standing on the station's middle platform, while the tracks on this side of the station were primarily used for the trains that were operating on the Midland and Highland routes. The tracks located on the other side of the middle platform were for the Springfield Line to New Haven.
Notice the appliance added to the British steam locomotive for U.S. operation, that includes (headlight, standard steam whistle, knuckle coupler, bell, etc.) It appears that the second tender is an auxiliary water tender. Notice the added pilot section (cow catcher) that has been added to the locomotive for operation in America.
Retired from regular service in 1963 after covering 2,076,000 miles (3,341,000 km). The Flying Scotsman gained considerable fame in preservation under the ownership of Alan Pegler, William McAlpine, Tony Marchington and finally the National Railway Museum. As well as hauling enthusiast specials in the United Kingdom, the locomotive toured extensively in the United States (from 1969 to 1973) and Australia (from 1988 to 1989). Flying Scotsman has been described as the world's most famous steam locomotive.
