These are ACTUAL New York Central Mechanical Department drawings, not reproductions. Each file is a high-quality TIFF or JPG file that can be opened on any Macintosh or Windows computer. Each file is a high-resolution scan that allows you to zoom in to see key details and dimensions. Perfect for the model builder or historian. Each CD contains a spreadsheet file in Excel format that is searchable for key words to help find the drawing you're looking for. Many files contain the necessary title block info directly from the respective drawing. The assignment of a drawing into a sort category is based on the "Used On" block near the title box on each drawing, so the classification is based on official railroad records.

The following Mechanical Department drawing archive CD's are immediately available:
