New Haven Railroad EY-2 class Steeple Cab Motor # 209, is seen in the yard area at Stamford, Connecticut, 1950's

New Haven Railroad EY-2 class Steeple Cab Motor # 209, is seen in the yard area at Stamford, Connecticut, 1950's. This motor is a steeple cab switcher built by Baldwin-Westinghouse. These switchers were primarily used for freight train service switching, but were also used for passenger car switching as required. In the background at a higher level you can see the electrified main line. The caboose that is situated behind the switcher is one of the all steel types in the C-510 to C-634 series. The MU car to the right is one of the vestibule clerestory style of MUT or is a trailer in that series of equipment.

 

The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. The photo is in my collection of Al Chione slides.
