New York Central No. 6721

New York Central No. 6721 is a class B-11k 0-6-0 steam locomotive built at Alco’s Schenectady, NY, works in 1913 for the New York Central System as #621. It was later renumbered as #6721 in 1936.
The 6721 was sold to the Central Illinois Public Service Company at Hutsonville, IL, in 1953, where it was renumbered #7.
Ten years later, it was bought by the Mid-Continent Railway Historical Society and moved to North Freedom, WI.
The Music and Arts Foundation in Dayton, OH, bought the engine in 1980 and put it on display at Carillon Park until 1997, when it was sold again this time to a group in Utica, NY, and is now on display at the old Utica Station.
In 2015, it suffered some damage after a boy accidentally sent a parked freight car rolling along, colliding with the locomotive. Since the collision, the Utica & Mohawk Chapter of the NRHS worked with a private group to cosmetically restore the locomotive and put it back on display at Utica Union Station. The work was completed in November 2020.
