Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is seen operating on the main line and it has a green block signal as it crosses over one track to reach the outside main line track in Utah, Summer 1980. There are three tracks situated at this location and that is why so many block signals are within this scene. There is a nice reflection of a track in the dome coach nearest window.

New Haven Railroad I-5 class 4-6-4 Hudson steam locomotive # 1407 is seen leading the westbound Yankee Clipper with snow on the ground along the Shore Line at Leete's Island, Connecticut, 2-1948. This train is still operating as a heavyweight train and shortly it will become a lightweight train once all of the cars required for its operation had been constructed. Of interest to me was the fact that the combined three door RPO, mail storage, baggage & express car was used on this train, which typically was used on secondary trains or on branch line trains.

 

The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is Kent Cochrane. This is a modified, enhanced and cropped photo scan that is from a B&W photo in my personal collection.

Union Pacific & Western Pacific lash-up of EMD & GE diesel electric locomotives are seen while leading a manifest freight train during the summer of 1980 - 2. This scene was captured while we were riding an UP 8444 EF-3 class Northern steam locomotive special excursion train while near one of our photo stop locations. As you may observe, rail fans are out and about in this view. The last two locomotives are a Western Pacific EMD GP40-2 # 3512 and an UP SD40-2 # 3390 locomotive. Check out the old VW bus that' seen in the foreground.

Boston & Maine Railroad ALCO P-2-d class 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive 3631, used as run through passenger train power is seen in Cedar Hill Yard at New Haven, Connecticut, 7-18-1935. For a short time period a few B&M Pacific steam locomotives were used on the Springfield Line as run through power and operated to and from New Haven, Connecticut. This required the B&M locomotives to be equipped with the Springfield Line ATS signal system boxes. Notice an engineer in the cab window of the locomotive. Also behind the tender is a New Haven Railroad I-4 class Pacific.

New Haven Railroad MOW track gandy dancers or section hands are seen working on a track washout on Division Street, March 1936. This work was mostly all manual labor back in the day, while today much of this work is performed by machinery. To the far left is what appears to be a shoe-fly track used as a temporary by-pass track to allow trains to pass by this area while it is being repaired. There is a speeder with employees that are operating on the shoe-fly track. In the background there are three or four steam locomotive powered trains, and it appears that some have gondolas full of ballast rock and others perhaps with fill dirt. The employee nearest and looking toward the camera reminds me of Big Joe Palooka from years past.

All movie production equipment for "The Golden Honeymoon" Is now gone, except for the train at the platform, led by Orange Belt Railroad 2-6-2 Prairie steam locomotive 11, that is seen at Union Station in Tampa, Florida, 4-8-1979, Fred Clark, Jr. This former Reader Railroad steam locomotive oil burning steam locomotive with its train has stayed fairly clean for the movie scenes in the station and out on the road in action scenes. The movie "The Golden Honeymoon," was shown on PBS in 1980. The opening scene with the train at the station platform was to be set at night in Trenton, New Jersey in 1922, I do believe.

New Haven Railroad ALCO three unit FA-1, FB-1 & FA-1 locomotive set, is switching freight cars prior to proceeding with its train across the railroad bridge at Poughkeepsie, New York, ca 1949. The locomotives just set out two box cars on a siding and now is preparing to back up and couple to its manifest freight train to complete its trip to Maybrook, New York. This location is right by the entrance tracks to the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge where the two main line tracks will go together to form a gauntlet track over the bridge. Lead locomotive # 0429 was the last in the 30 unit series of FA-1 locomotives ordered. The FA-1 and the FB-1 and classified as DER-2a & DER-2b on the New Haven Railroad. Another point of interest is the fact that the rails leading to the bridge are welded, using an early application of this process that was first used in America in 1930, and you can see the weld joint on the nearest rail.

 

In the United States, the Central of Georgia Railroad used welded rail for tunnel tracks in 1930, and the Delaware and Hudson Railroad is credited with the first open-track installation of Thermite rail welds in 1933. The EJ&E started installing 131 lb main line welded rail in 1943, and by 1950, had over 90 miles of their 175 mile main line converted to welded rail.

Penn Central New Haven Railroad caboose at the end of a freight train operating on an express track just passed through the station at Greens Farms Connecticut, early 1970's. The motive power for this train was two EF-4 motors. You can see how the hairpin fence blocks the two express tracks from the two platform tracks at the station. It is good to see a freight train operating in daylight hours on the electric lines, because many were operated during the night. This photo was provided from a friend that captured this image on film.

New Haven Railroad Baldwin G-4-a class 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler steam locomotive 817, with the stopped Wire Train and the fireman seen in his cab window at Oak Point, New York, August 10, 1943.

Penn Central station at Branchville is seen on the branch line between Norwalk & Danbury, Connecticut, early 1970's, Bob Hughes Photo. By the number of vehicles parked at the station this was a very popular location for employees that travel by train to their work locations. This line was previously a New Haven Railroad electrified branch line, however, the catenary wires are now down. It is always interesting to see the orderboard semaphore signals that are in place at various stations. It is enjoyable for me to view the old vehicles that are seen in the station's parking lot.

New Haven Railroad GE EP-3 class motor 0360, leads a 7 car westbound East Wind while it's stopped at a platform track at Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut, 6-30-1940. Quite a few train crew members are standing on the right side platform, and mostly they appear be trainmen and conductors. The first car appears to be from the Pennsylvania Railroad and is probably being transferred as a dead-head car. This train ran between Maine and Washington, D.C. and was operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the New Haven Railroad & the Boston & Maine Railroad. The EP-3 motor recently replaced an I-4 class Pacific steam locomotive.

Boston & Maine Railroad 1938 Baldwin built R-1d class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 4117, and it was named Hercules. The B&M had a total of 18 R-1 class steam locomotives in various sub-classes of a, b, c & d. The five R-1d class steam locomotives remained in service until 1955-1956. They had 73 inch Baldwin Disc drivers that produced 63,900 lbs of starting tractive effort. The boiler pressure was 240 lbs and these engines were of modern design. They had 28 x 31 cylinders. These five R-1d class 4-8-2's (road number 4113 through 4117) each weighed 416,100 lbs and were some of the heaviest 4-8-2's built in the United States.

 

There was an original major problem with these locomotives in respect to the balancing of the Baldwin Disc drivers, however; this problem was mostly solved and the locomotives did provide good service. As the story goes, around 1937 the Baldwin Locomotive Works changed their balancing formula for drivers in relationship to standard and cross balancing of drive wheel and it was not the the correct formula to be used. Various railroads had these same balancing problems with their drives such as with the RF&P 4-8-4's, the New Haven Railroad I-5 class Hudsons and the Atlantic Coast Line R-1 class 4-8-4's along with some others. Check out the small Elephant ears and the nice Centipede tender. Notice too that the whistle is right in line with the smoke stack.
