New Haven Railroad I-4 class steam locomotive # 1356 is seen while leading a westbound passenger train into a platform track at New Haven Union Station, ca 1940. The first car seen on this train may be a deadhead coach that is followed by a combine. On another platform track is another westbound passenger train with the end coach (Osgood-Bradley Pullman, aka: American Flyer) displaying its full skirts. At New Haven the steam locomotives are exchanged for electric locomotives in order for the trains to continue of their westbound trip to New York City or beyond. You may notice that the engineer is seen in his cab window.

 

The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. This photo came from my collection of railroad photo prints.
