In 1923 the New York Central received five two-truck Shays of the type B-60-2 for use on street-running trains in New York City. For this role, they had to be covered by metal plates from the wheels to a roof above the boiler. Anyway, there are many photos on which the casing has been removed around the trucks and the cylinders.
They were numbered 1896 to 1900 and later renumbered to 7185 to 7189. When the tracks in the streets were removed in 1932 and the adjacent West Side Line was electrified, these locomotives came to subsidiaries of the New York Central. Finally, they were scrapped between 1944 and 1948.
