Steam locomotive 5428 'Eric Treacy' steaming out of Grosmont railway station on the NYMR pulling restored pullman coaches on it's way to Pickering. The train was built in Newcastle in 1937 and served on the main line railway until 1967. When restored it was named after Eric Treacy, the Bishop of Wakefield and now regularly hauls passenger trains on the North York Moors railway.

This photo of J-3a Hudson No. 5434 is a publicity shot the New York Central set up to highlight the last steam-hauled passenger train on the Canada Southern division on June 16, 1953. The locomotive is shown as though emerging from the east portal of the Detroit River Tunnel in Windsor, Ontario, steam issuing from the cylinder cocks for effect. If, in fact, the engine came through the tunnel it had been pulled by DRT electric locomotives (note the drop coupler in raised position). Possibly, however, the engine was shoved into position from the Windsor terminal, because it is trailed by only one car — a boxcar, or perhaps an express car.
