Boston & Albany offset side hoppers. The B&A had been under the control of New York Central since 1900 but had more of an independent streak than some other NYC “System” lines such as Big Four or Michigan Central. Their name got top billing on locomotives and rolling stock into the 1950s. They were finally merged into New York Central in 1961. This run will be available in 3 road numbers with “coal” loads.
