New Haven Railroad DL-109 # 0706 & # 0710 led Boy Scouts of America Extra excursion ten car train, with the leadership, troop directors and supporters, seen after just arriving at the Station in Beacon, New York, May 1950

New Haven Railroad DL-109 # 0706 & # 0710 led Boy Scouts of America Extra excursion ten car train, with the leadership, troop directors and supporters, seen after just arriving at the Station in Beacon, New York, May 1950. To the right of the train is the New York Central Hudson River Water Level Route main line tracks, which the New Haven Railroad train crossed over a couple miles behind the station location and then the tracks dropped down to the lower level to reach the station area. Seen in the right side background by the Hammond Paint Works manufacturing building are what appears to be some NYC MOW cars spotted on a siding. Notice how well dressed the passengers appear to be back in the day. In the left background is just a glimpse of the Hudson River.

 

This photo came from my New Haven Railroad negative collection.
