New Haven Railroad EY-2 class Steeple Cab Motor # 209, is seen in the yard area at Stamford, Connecticut, 1950's. This motor is a steeple cab switcher built by Baldwin-Westinghouse. These switchers were primarily used for freight train service switching, but were also used for passenger car switching as required. In the background at a higher level you can see the electrified main line. The caboose that is situated behind the switcher is one of the all steel types in the C-510 to C-634 series. The MU car to the right is one of the vestibule clerestory style of MUT or is a trailer in that series of equipment.

New Haven Railroad MU open platform car # 4027, along with others in a train is seen at the station platform in Pelham, New York, 5-11-1936. It is interesting to observe the old vehicle of an even earlier era parked at the station platform. Note the triangular catenary that is present in the area west of Stamford. Note too, the well dressed gentleman walking down the platform, because back in those days most men wore suits or jackets along with a hat. People at that time would actually dress to travel, unlike today!

New Haven Railroad GE EP-5 motor # 373 is seen leading a westbound passenger train and is about to pass by tower SS38 on a platform track in order to make its station stop at Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. The EP-5 could surly use a good washing, and better yet a paint job, plus it probably has some maintenance issues by this point in time. Bob Hughes was able to photograph this train for his vantage point in the tower. The Pullman-Standard lightweight stainless steel multiple unit train cars that are situated behind the EP-5 led train are perhaps the New Canaan Shuttle service train.

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.

New Haven Railroad GE EP-5 class motor # 373 is seen while stopped with its passenger train at a station platform in Milford, Connecticut, 8-13-1966. A RPO is seen coupled to the locomotive. At this point in time the New Haven Railroad has less than two more years to exist. The original hairpin fence is still in place at this station which divides the east and west bound tracks. This EP-5 is a bit dirty, but the paint is not in bad shape. The reason that the paint is not in bad condition is that I cleaned up some of the present pant chips to improve the motors appearance.

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

Check out the fireman in his cab window hamming it up for Bob Hughes with his camera. The highway seen behind the train in the background is I-95 that has an overpass bridge over the tracks. It almost looks like the FA-1 has a snowstache. You can see the engineer in his cab window. If you notice the last boxcar on the train near the highway overpass bridge, it is wearing a State of Maine style paint scheme.

Amtrak out of service EMD E-units (both E8 & E9 locomotives) are seen on a yard track at Widwood, Florida, 9-22-1974, Fred Clark, Jr. Previously when Fred and I were in Wildwood a couple on months earlier there was a second track filled with Amtrak E-units. Never did find out the disposition information for the locomotives, and perhaps someone out there knows. If you click on the photo to enlarge it you can see in the left side background the locomotive service, maintenance & storage area. Just ahead of the E-units starts the Wildwood Yard and the passenger station is ahead too on the right side. Fred took this photo from the roof of a boxcar.

Pennsylvania Railroad I class Decapod (aka Hippo) 2-10-0 steam locomotive # 4694, is seen while leading a manifest freight train along a river bank, late 1930's. The train at this time is passing through a switch turnout to change tracks, with the fireman's head appearing out of the cab window, with possibly the brakeman standing on the gang way. These old steam locomotive were sure not state of the art in locomotive design by this time, but they still produced just a bit over 3,000 hp and about 102,000 lbs of starting tractive effort, which is not very shabby.

The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. This photo came from my personal collection of Railroad images, however, this negative came from a friends personal collection.

Amtrak Champion southbound, led by EMD SDP40F locomotive 636 & another, from a high vantage point on a block signal is seen operating on the SCL's ex ACL line as it crosses the ex SAL line diamond at the station complex in Plant City, Florida, 12-25-74, Fred Clark, Jr. The train coming from Orlando & Lakeland is heading to Tampa and then beyond to Clearwater & Saint Petersburg, the final destination. Fred was always known for is high vantage point photos which provided a different point of view and perspective on a subject. The station building on the back side of the diamond was the old SAL freight station, not used for years at this time, and the building to the left was the passenger station for both the ACL and the SAL which was closed some years back. The time of day is approximately sometime after 2:00 PM with the sun shinning from the west and with the arrival time around 4:30 in Saint Petersburg. The slowest part of the trip was the time it took to enter Tampa Union Station in a back-up operation and then to travel around Tampa Bay through Safety Harbor to reach both Clearwater and St. Petersburg. The old ACL Champion did not use this routing and did not head to Tampa, instead went directly out of Saint Petersburg and Clearwater northbound to Tarpon Springs and then on a route to Trilby, Ocala & Gainesville, then on to Jacksonville.

New Haven Railroad EP-4 class electric locomotive # 0365 is seen near the motor storage area at Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut, ca late 1940's. If you notice the pantographs were utilizing double collection shoes at this time, but later they were modified to use only one shoe. Also if you notice the motor had plain bearing on all axles at this time, but later the engine trucks received roller bearings. You may also notice the top of the motors steam heat boiler being seen at the right side cab end. Another interesting thing about these motors is that their trucks are usually covered with white dust from the heavy use of sanders, even though their car-bodies may been fairly clean. In my opinion these streamlined motors really looked impressive when leading a train with their quiet power. As you may observe in the background the railroad station is nearby a residential apartment neighborhood.

Penn Central eastbound passenger train with an ex Pennsylvania Railroad Clearance Car # 497125 passes by tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, early 1970's, Bob Hughes Photo. Don't know the specific purpose for the former PRR Clearance Car being in this trains consist. However, usually when any possible obstruction may interfere with the right-of-way, or when certain new equipment (example: engines & cars) are planned to be operated in a specific area of the railroad, a clearance diagram needs to be provided in advance of such operation. You may note that the short heavyweight Clearance Car is utilizing freight car trucks rather than standard passenger car trucks.

SCL is delivering by flatcar a new Orange Belt Museum Railroad Baldwin 2-8-0 Consolidation steam locomotive 203, and it is in the yards at Trilby, Florida, Friday AM, 6-25-1976, Fred Clark, Jr. The flat car will be delivered to the Orange Belt Railroad once a locomotive is assigned for the move. The steam locomotive is lettered for the T-SA & C R.R., however; I do not know the names it stands for, but possibly something like The-San Antonio & Cypress Railroad as a guess. This was perhaps a museum railroad, but if any of you have an idea let us all know..

New Haven Railroad EDER-5 class EMD FL-9 locomotive # 2014, is seen on a maintenance, service, repair and storage area yard track at Springfield, Massachusetts, ca early 1960's. Locomotives seen in this area of the yard will be prepared for their next assignment for service on the Springfield Line, with a train that will be heading to New Haven, via Hartford, and in numerous instances beyond to Grand Central Terminal in New York City. The switcher that is coupled to the rear of the FL-9 locomotive appears to be an ALCO product.

Southern Pacific LIMA GS-3 class Golden State / General Service 4-8-4 oil burning semi-streamlined steam locomotive # 4423, along with its passenger train, has recently arrived at a platform in Los Angeles Union Station, ca early 1940's. A cab crew member (probably a fireman) is still seen in the cab window. To the far right is one of the early Union Pacific diesel electric locomotive (EMC) hauled Streamliners, more than likely a City named train, such as the City of Los Angeles. Check out the multiple bulb headlight in the UP diesel locomotive.

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

Amtrak - Penn Central colorful Amtrak GG-1 motor 932 led eastbound 13 car passenger train is seen at Stamford, Connecticut, 1972. The first car is a Northern Pacific car and the second car is a C&O car. At this time Amtrak was using a rainbow of colored cars in their train consists.

New Haven Railroad DL-109's, wearing the short lived pin stripe paint scheme, are seen with a north bound passenger train on the Springfield Line platform at Hartford Union Station in 1949. In the background you can see the state of Connecticut capitol dome. The track in the foreground is the Springfield Line south to New Haven. The track seen in the middle between the north and south bound Springfield Line tracks is a crossover siding where often mail, baggage and REA cars are stored prior to being coupled to a train heading in either direction. The first track to the right beyond the small platform is a baggage & REA car storage track that was used for both loading and unloading cars. Beyond the platform to the left is another track that is depressed that uses the platform as a high level platform to service mail, baggage and REA cars. Also to the left is the Swift Premium Meat and cold storage products company building that is situated at the end of Union Place. On the right the outer two tracks are the two tracks that connect with the Midland and Highland Divisions, with passenger trains operating between Waterbury or beyond to Boston via Hartford. Freight trains also used this track, with some making connections to Maybrook Line, with a large yard in New York State for gateway service provided to other roads.

The name of the photographer that captured this image is unknown. This photo was a low resolution image taken from an eBay sale on the Internet.

New Haven Railroad R-3-a class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 3553 is seen with its stopped freight train on the Maybrook Line at a station location near the Poughkeepsie Bridge at Highland, New York, ca 1946. This was a very busy freight train route back in the day between New England and the rest of America.

Denver Rio Grande & Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is at a location beyond Fraser while operating on the main line as it passes through a forest area in Colorado, Summer 1980. All along the main line track work was constantly being performed with new ties, rails or both laid out along with equipment and tools.

New Haven Railroad ALCO Black Maria test model diesel electric locomotive 1500C, is seen leading a five car stopped passenger train at the station in New Britain, Connecticut, 1946. The train is operating on the Highland branch line between Hartford and Waterbury. These 1,500 hp diesel electric locomotives were tested by the New Haven Railroad for the first six months of 1946. Don't believe that a steam generator was provided in these test locomotives, and a summer time operation with coaches would not require one. These test locomotives were used as the basis for development of the ALCO FA-1 & FB-1 locomotives, of which the railroad purchased in 1947, with 15 ABA sets being acquired. This series of demonstrator locomotives reminds me of a baby DL-109, then again in certain ways the nose is somewhat similar to a EMD bull dog nose on the F-units.
