New York Central 4517 leads a steam locomotive on the front of a westbound passenger train at the Jackson depot.  The 4517 appears to be a Fairbanks Morse passenger C-liner with a B-A1A wheel arrangement and 2,000 hp.  This lashup of power must have left railfans (and railroaders) wondering.  Wasn't the NYC's Michigan Division a wonderful and interesting railroad in it's day?  Photo from the 1950's.  [Doug Leffler Collection]
