New Haven Railroad ever popular one of kind Pig Nosed ALCO DL-109 diesel electric locomotive # 0727 at Dover Sreet in South Boston, Massachusetts, 7-26-1956. This unit was modified to be used as a B-unit, and it now included a new front door and front hand rails for safety purposes. At this time period numerous trains were eliminated from the schedule, but at the same time they were combined with other trains. Due to this fact, many of the trains were at the maximum consist length to match the plaftorm requirements at tither GCT or Penn Station in New York City. Normally the New Haven Railroad would use just two units as maximum on any of their passenger trains, but at this time with the longer consists in order to accelerate faster and to make the registered speed limit another locomotive was required to power specific trains. The new Haven Railroad decided to modify two of their old DL-109's for this purpose into B-units, which they did. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

New Haven Railroad ALCO PA-1 diesel locomotive # 0773 and a FM C-Liner lead a stop westbound passenger train at a station platform in Providence, Rhode Island, ca Mid 1950's. In this station scene you can also see a portion of the downtown area and what appears to be another train on the far right side. The Providence station was always interesting with its curved platform tracks and quit a few very good photo's were taken there over the years.

This photo came from the Internet and the name of the photographer is Leo King

New Haven Railroad westbound manifest freight train led by ALCO FA-1 # 0418, EMD GP9 # 1225 & EMD GP9 # 1223 that is operating on an express track is about to pass by tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. With the snow on the roof of most refrigerator boxcars, they must have originally come from Maine with fresh harvest items. The State of Maine boxcar that is coupled to the last locomotive is very colorful. In the distance you can see that both eastbound main line tracks have a green signal indicated for clear track ahead. Bob Hughes took the photo from his tower location.

New Haven Railroad EF-4 motors # 300 & # 304 are seen while making a light move on a westbound express track located by tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. Motor # 300 does not have a pantograph so it must be powered by a roof top cable coming from motor # 304, which still has it original lightweight pantograph. Bob Hughes was able to capture this scene on film from his tower SS38 vantage point.

Penn Central Park Avenue Viaduct in a view from a New Haven Line train of an ex New Haven Railroad round roof MUT that's led by a combine in New York City, winter 1970. In the background above the tracks is a control station with block signals. This third rail viaduct is very highly signaled due to the numerous turnouts and crossovers along the elevated route with many trains switching tracks as they proceed in either direction. Bob Hughes was able to take many photos from New Haven Line train vestibules and locomotive cabs that were not always available to most rail-fans. This photo most likely was taken from the front door window of a ex New Haven Pullman-Standard lightweight stainless steel MUT.

New Haven Railroad EMD FL9 locomotive 2058 & another along with their passenger train after arrival from New Haven via Hartford is at a station platform in Springfield, Massachusetts, 1967. Was glad to find this photo because it shows the arrival end of the station where the New Haven locomotives stopped which is not seen as often as the other end of the platforms that have the baggage elevators present. On a track to the left there appears to be another New Haven Railroad passenger that will be departing for New Haven and perhaps beyond.

New Haven Railroad J-1 class 2-8-2 Mikado steam locomotive # 3022 is seen leading a local freight train on the Air Line Route at Middlefield, Connecticut, April 1948. Of interest is the fact that this steam locomotive has a clear vision style of switcher tender coupled to its drawbar.

The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is I believe Kent Cochrane. This is a modified, enhanced and cropped photo scan from an image that was from my collection of railroad photos. This B&W photo has been colorized by me.

New Haven Railroad DL-109 locomotive 0738 & 0704 while leading a passenger train that is operating on the Shore Line is stopped at a station platform in Saybrook, Connecticut, August 31, 1946.

The Dl-109 locomotive 0738 appears to be in the DER-1b configuration and it still retains its original car-body windows.
