New Haven Railroad ALCO S-1 switcher # 0959 leads an eastbound Maintenance Of Way (MOW) train with some crew members walking along side Stamford, Connecticut, summer 1968. On board a flat car is a small tracked crane (CC-15) for use on land, but here it serves another purpose. Two groups of MOW employees are present wit some riding in a hopper car and with other walking along side of the train as it makes it switching moves. From the way the men are dressed this must be a fairly hot day. You can see the back of the engineer in his cab window. Bob Hughes took this photo from his tower SS38 second floor location.
