New York Central 2933 is a preserved steam locomotive of the L-2d class, a 4-8-2 that the New York Central called a Mohawk after the Mohawk River. ALCO built it in October 1929 as number 6233 for the railroad subsidiary known as the Big Four, one of 24 such engines for that line, and it was renumbered 2933 when the Big Four L-2d engines moved to the New York Central roster in 1936. It hauled mainline freight until it was retired in August 1957. Rather than being scrapped it served as a stationary boiler in the railroad shops, and in 1963 the railroad donated it to the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, making it the only large New York Central steam locomotive donated directly by the railroad. It is on static display at the museum in Kirkwood, Missouri, where a cosmetic restoration was finished in May 2017.
