New Haven Railroad DEY-3 class ALCO S-1 is seen switching headend cars in the yard at Springfield, Massachusetts. ca mid 1950's. Behind the S-1 switcher is a Great Northern Express car, a long way from home rails. On the left side of the photo you can see a car cleaners cleaning the windows on an Osgood-Bradley lightweight (aka American Flyer) coach. The old signs in the downtown along with the old vechicles and buildings are interesting. Springfield was the terminal point for the the Springfield Line running to New Haven via Hartford. At Springfield connections were made with both the Boston & Albany and the Boston & Maine Railroads. Of interest, there is a tell-tail located over the coaches indicating an obstruction is nearby and that no employee should be on the car roof of a moving train. Benind the building with the Vernon Surgical Shop painted sign is a large structure holding a sign for the Hotel Bridgway. The name of the photographer that took this photo is unknown. This photo came from my personal collection.
