Learn the exciting story of the railway that changed the country and the masterminds behind it all.


A full generation has passed since a New York Central emblem dashed across the countryside on a railroad car, but few could ever forget "the greatest railroad in the world." The New York Central System grew from an amalgamation of smaller lines stretching from Albany to Buffalo in the 1830s. Twenty years later, the lines were gathered into a single company. Its phenomenal success did not go unnoticed by Cornelius "the Commodore" Vanderbilt. In his late sixties, when most men retire, he methodically started acquiring railroads in the New York City and Hudson River region. He then acquired the New York Central and merged it with his Hudson River Railroad. The Commodore and his son William, the foremost rail barons of their age, forged ahead with one of the most dynamic future-directed endeavors in the world-a railroad empire that traversed 11 states and 2 Canadian provinces.

Good impeller kit
Great kit for impeller alpha one gen two outdrive. The only thing that was missing is the instructions as a reference.

Outboard impeller replacement kit.
This kit was for a 1999 Mercury Force 75 hp outboard motor. I purchased used and had not been run for a year. Impeller was hard and not flexible enough to pump water. The kit fixed that problem and the job took about 2 hours to complete. (I took my time). If you don't have a shop manual look for YouTube videos. I watched several and found one that matched the motor I was working on. Made things much simpler.

Excellent product
The water pump kit fits perfectly well on my 1997 Alpha 1 Gen+ Stern drive. Quality looks good and at reasonable price. I run the motorboat for 20 minutes and the water recirculation was constant
