[2] The L-2ds, which were among 600 NYC "Mohawk"-type locomotives, were primarily used to haul mainline freight trains.

[2] Following the NYC’s dieselization, incoming president Alfred E. Perlman ordered for as many of the railroad’s steam locomotives to be scrapped as possible, including most of the Mohawks.

2933 avoided the scrapping, since it was used as a stationary steam boiler in the NYC shops before it was left in storage on a siding.

[2] Atkinson in turn directly approached Pearlman and asked for New York Central and Hudson River 999 to be donated to the MoT.

[2] This makes the 2933 the only large New York Central steam locomotive to be donated directly by the railroad.

2933 was left in temporary storage on the Alton and Southern Railway, while the MoT searched for a larger location to display their collection.

2933 was towed with other locomotives to the MoT’s new site in Kirkwood, Missouri, where it was then put on static display.
