Jeff Morrell Did some research thru the NYCSHS and here are some interesting facts. There were 130 H7 Mikes, sub classes a - e, built for the LS&MS, MCRR & the Big Four beginning in 1912 and ending in 1920. Big Four 1990 began life as H7e 6190. She was one of a batch with feed water heaters and trailing truck boosters. In this configuration they outweighed the H10 Mikes. She went to the scrappers in June 1956. Sister Mike 1977 is credited for the last steam revenue run for the NYC on May 2, 1957. This information was taken from the 1st quarter 1984 issue of Central Headlight.
