New York Central and Hudson River Railroad No. 999 is a 4-4-0 “American” type steam locomotive built for the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1893, which was intended to haul the road's Empire State Express train service. It was built for high speed and was the first steam locomotive in the world to travel over 100 mph. It was officially clocked by railroad officials when it ran a world record of 112.5 mph on May 10, 1893. The locomotive was then exhibited in the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. There was a two cent US stamp issued representing the world speed record event. Thousands of miniature replica ridable No. 999 locomotives were made for amusement parks worldwide. Manufacturers of electric toy trains designated some of their models No. 999. The original 999 locomotive has be

  • Die Dampflokomotive Nr. 999 der New York Central & Hudson River Railroad gilt als das erste Fahrzeug, das eine Geschwindigkeit von 100 mph (etwa 161 km/h) überschritten hat. Auf der 1893 durchgeführten Rekordfahrt der speziell für diesen Zweck gebauten Lokomotive wurden sogar 112 mph (181 km/h) gemessen, was auch außerhalb von Eisenbahner-Kreisen weltweites Aufsehen erregte. Allerdings bezweifeln Fachleute, dass diese Geschwindigkeit tatsächlich erreicht wurde. (de)
