Connecticut Company self powered Express Motor 2023 with 4 boxcars is seen operating westbound on Burnside Avenue in East Hartford, Connecticut, 07-22-1950. The connection to the East Hartford Railroad Yard is further back in the distance and it veers off to the left. It appears that one of the cab crew is standing in the front open door smooking a cigarette. In this portion of the road there are two tracks installed, where on most of the route there is only a single track. by this time the trolley poles were removed because P&W no longer had a powered trolley wire system on their plant property.
This photo came from my personal collection of railroad photos. The photographer's name is unknown, but all credit for the photo must be provided to him.
