New Haven Railroad I-4 class 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive # 1391, is seen while leading a mixed consist 9 car passenger train along the Shore Line, ca mid 1940's. With a New Haven coal burning I-4 class Pacific up front, this short passenger train has plenty of power to maintain its speed on the main line. It appears that the first car may be a dead-head heavyweight parlor car that is followed by a combine, along with four Osgood-Bradley (aka American Flyer) coaches, followed up by what appears to be a heavyweight dining car and a couple of heavyweight parlor cars. You may easily observe the engineer in his cab window.

This photo came from my negative collection, however, the name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown.

New Haven Railroad EMD FL-9's (EDER-5a), led by locomotive # 2038, is seen in the electric zone while stopped with a west bound passenger train at the Stamford Station platform in Connecticut, 1960's era. The trains consist contains a mixture of heavyweight head end equipment, an Osgood-Bradley American Flyer coach and what appears to be the modern Pullman Standard post war stainless steel sheathed cars. Located behind the train is a so called washboard MU car built by Pullman Standard in 1954. Notice the famous New Haven Railroad style of triangular catenary in use at this location.This photo came from my collection, however, the photographer's name that took this photo is unknown.

New Haven Railroad open platform trailer combo # 4650, along with another MU car is seen at a station platform (most likely a flag stop) on the New Canaan Branch, Connecticut, ca 1940's. On the platform are situated mail bags to be handled. Check out the old Alka-Seltzer advertisement sigh on the station building. This New Canaan electrified branch line operation is very much like a heavy duty interurban operation is some respects. It is very interesting to view these old open platform MU cars that are still in service, and they will continue to serve for many more years, with most lasting until 1955. Trailer Combo # 4650 was among two that were constructed in 1912, by the Standard Steel Car Company.

New Haven Railroad Pullman Standard stainless steel lightweight MUT's are being pushed an ALCO switcher as they head to the storage yard tracks just east of tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. It is interesting that the vestibule doors on these car are of the solid design rather than dutch door style, but on the other hand they do have drop down windows. It also appears that the first MUT has the McGinnis paint scheme ends while the second MUT has the standard green painted ends. You may observe the large bolster anchor on the side of the lead snubber equipped inside swing hanger roller bearing GSC truck. These cars also had tight-lock couplers.

Bob Hughes captured this image on film from his tower location.

SCL Clinchfield Number 1 steam locomotive and its excursion train is switching over to ex SAL tracks at Union Station to head out to Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida, 7-2-1978, Fred Clark, Jr. The old Ten wheeler leads the train out of the downtown area and it is changing over from ex ACL tracks to ex SAL tracks. If you click on the photo to enlarge it you can see the engineer in his side cab window.

New Haven Railroad EP-1 class 1-B-B-1 motors (aka: Ponies) # 029 & 036, are seen in the station yard at New Haven, Connecticut, mid 1930's. These old passenger motors were still in service at this time, but members of their fleet were already being condemned, and by the near end of the 1940's, they were all gone. Check out the vertical air whistle situated near the bell and headlight.

This photo came from my New Haven Railroad negative collection.

New Haven Railroad ALCO L-1 class 2-10-2 Santa Fe steam locomotive 3200, slowly leads a freight train through a washout area while a track crew adds new fill and roadbed along with aligning the tracks and performing repair work at Derby, Connecticut, late 1930's. The washout may have occurred after one of the two late 1930's hurricanes that struck Connecticut and caused serious damage in many areas of the state. The washout event should keep the Maintenance Of Way crews busy for sometime. This steam engine is the first L-1 class steam locomotive 3200 in a series of 50 such engines. Over the years these engines were rebuilt several times and numerous modifications and changes for improvement were included. The front end of this locomotive looks very different from its as built look because it now has an Elesco feed-water heater added to its smoke-box top and it also has two air compressors mounted on its pilot deck along with shields. In the background you can observe plumes of smoke and water vapor in the sky indicating that another steam locomotive or possibly two are present.

New Haven Railroad EP-5 Motor # 374 with eastbound # 12, The Bay State, that is heading to Boston is seen at Stamford Connecticut, May 18, 1967. Another passenger train is passing by this location in the opposite direction. With the triangular catenary you can surely tell that you are in the Stamford section of the electrified railroad. Again I was able to come up with a clean and well painted EP-5 during this time period, back when many of the motors were not so fortunate to look this good.

New Haven Railroad J-1 class 2-8-2 Mikado steam locomotive # 3022, is seen leading a nine car local freight train along Air Line in Connecticut, 1947. This country side location is unknown. If you notice that the box car coupled to the last gondola is some sort of stock car. On the highway overpass bridge there appears to be an old woody station wagon about to cross. This scene may have been taken in the Portland area.

Huntingdon & Broad Top Mountain Doodlebug # M-39, is seen at at unknown station location, possibly Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, late 1930's. This railroad was fundamentally a coal hauling standard gauge railroad, that also hauled passengers, mail and baggage. The railroad at its height had just over 72 miles of track. The railroad's track were located in south central Pennsylvania and they interchanged cargo with the Pennsylvania Railroad at Huntingdon and at one time with the Bedford & Bridgeport Railroad at Mount Dallas. In the background there appears to be an order-board semaphore signal located by the station building.

The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. This photo came from my personal collection of railroad photos scans from a friends large and high quality collection.

New Haven Railroad guest, the Brulington Zephyr 9900, or aka: Pioneer Zephyr, is on display with railfans and visitors seen at Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut, 1934. The was the first all stainless steel train in America, and it broke various speed records. The train used a 660 hp Winton 201-A diesel prime mover for power. This train set actually remained in revenue passenger service from 1934 until March, 1960. It appears that some of the looks of the New Haven Railroad's Comet train set may have come from the Zephyr's design. As you can see there was quite a turnout of visitors for viewing this train set at the station.

New Haven Railroad Baldwin-Westinghouse EP-2 class motor 308 is seen uncouping to it's eastbound passenger train that includes what appears to be a dead-head coach at Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut, 10-6-1935. Shortly as is typical, a steam locomotive and perhaps an I-4 class Pacific, may couple onto the train to lead it to is final destination. It appears that the engineer in his cab window really wanted his photo taken by his pose.

Penn Central eastbound passenger train with two GG-1 locomotives (a dead-head move for power reassignment) passes by tower SS38 in the rain at Stamford, Connecticut, 1972. The leading and powered GG-1 still maintains its original Pennsylvania Railroad single stripe paint scheme. There probably was never a need for two GG-1's to be powered to handle any train on the former New Haven Railroad. This train operated through Penn Station in New York City.

Bob Hughes captured this image on film from his dry tower location.

New Haven Railroad west bound, and most likely a named passenger train, led by DER-3a class ALCO PA-1 locomotive 0784 and another, is seen entering the station platform area with their train at Providence, Rhode Island, ca late 1950's. This train has no head-end cars in its consist. The first four cars on this train are lightweight parlor cars followed by what appears to be a dining car and perhaps then some coaches. This stations platform area is on a curve. One of the PA-1 locomotives is wearing the conventional green and yellow paint scheme, while the other PA-1 is wearing the new McGinnis paint scheme. This scene was perhaps taken in the late afternoon or in the early evening with the western sun lighting the scene.

New Haven Railroad R-3-a class ALCO 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 3557 leads a block of refrigerator boxcars eastbound along the Shore Line at Guilford, Connecticut, 7-1948. It appears that the majority of the refrigerator cars are of wooden construction with a few steel cars thrown into the consist. These R-3-a class steam locomotive were the most powerful among the Mountain type engines on the railroad and could operate a freight train at close to average passenger train speeds if required. In the distance you can see a block signal bridge and also what appears to be two railfans walking by the track near their parked car. You can see the fireman's arm outside of his cab window.

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. This photo has been colorized by me.

Penn Central ex PRR GG-1 is stopped at a station platform with an eastbound passenger train while a GE U25B led manifest freight train passes by on an eastbound express track at Stamford, Connecticut, 1971.

Penn Central Arrow I set of cars with MUT # 121 in the lead while operating on a main line platform track at a station platform area in Connecticut, 1971. With PC taking over former New Haven Railroad operations on January 1, 1969, the equipment thereafter seen operating on the system became extremely varied. You may notice that these Arrow I MUT's have the Faiveley double contact shoe pantographs installed. Bob Hughes took this photo when out and about photographing trains.

New Haven Railroad EMD FL-9 locomotive # 2037 is seen while leading an eastbound passenger train on a platform track with the engineer giving a wave by tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. Bob Hughes received many waves from the engine cab crews at his tower location. In the background is highway I-95; a strong competitor for commuter business, which did hurt the New Haven Railroad's passenger business. There appears to be three people in the cab of the locomotive.

New Haven Railroad EMD FL-9 EDER-5a class locomotive # 2035 & mate are seen leading an eastbound manifest freight train on an express track along side a westbound passenger train near tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, ca 1968, Bob Hughes Photo. Photos that depict FL-9's leading freight trains are not so common, so it is very nice to present this photo which Bob Hughes captured for history. In the background we can view a portion of the downtown area along with highway I-95.

Penn Central winter afternoon with former New Haven Railroad FL-9's leading an eastbound passenger train at a station platform with other FL-9's leading a westbound passenger train while preparing for a station stop at Stamford, Connecticut, 1970. The station stub tracks on the left are typically used for the commuter MU cars storage. Bob Hughes captured this snow scene image from his location in tower SS38 at Stamford.

Southern Railway operated railfan excursion train led by Savannah & Atlanta Pacific steam locomotive # 750 is seen passing under a highway bridge at Crawford, Florida, November 1983. Numerous railfans, observers and photographers were out an about to watch this steam locomotive while in action.

New Haven Railroad ALCO DER-3a class PA-1 diesel electric locomotive 0779 & another lead a railroad enthusiast excursion train running Extra that is stopped on the Maybrook Line, ca early 1950's. The white flags indicate that this train is operating as an Extra train. The PA-1's are still new enough that they have their coupler covers remaining on their pilots. It appears that we have a railfan standing on the left side of the locomotive. You can see that the locomotive's steam generators are in operation by the water vapor leaking out by the pilot.

Penn Central EMD GP40 # 3121 & # 3144 lead an eastbound manifest freight train along the electrified main line as seen from tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1969. This is just one of the Connecticut gray and overcast days, but Bob Hughes still captured the image of this train on film from his tower window perch. EMD GP40 locomotives were foreign to the old New Haven Railroad roster. Talked with a former PRR, PC, Conrail & Amtrak engineer and he told me that the older GP40's would actually out pull a newer GP40-2, and he mentioned that this was all due to the changes in the electrical control system.

New Haven Railroad R-2-a class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive # 3501, is leading a westbound manifest freight train on the Shore Line as it departs Guilford, Connecticut, 2-1948.

Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Baldwin (built 1944) 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 12 leads a southbound freight train past a tower protecting the New York, Ontario & Western diamond at Campbell Hall, New York, late 1940's. During WWII, when the L&HR Railway required new and powerful locomotives they went to Baldwin and ordered 3 copies of the Boston & Maine R1-d class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotives, numbered 10-12. Check out that large Centipede tender supplied with the locomotive. You can also clearly see the engineer in his cab window when you click on the photo to enlarge. These locomotives only lasted in service for six years because the L&HR then diselized in 1950 and these rather new steam locomotives became redundant.

This is a much tighter crop of the previous photo of the New Haven Railroad I-2 class 4-6-2 light Pacific # 1341, that is seen while leading a three car passenger train at Devon Junction, Connecticut, ca 1940's. In the background is seen SS-71, the Naugatuck Junction tower. The cars within the consist of this train are interesting, because the head-end car, a mail-baggage car # 2787, is both a 30 foot RPO, and it also has a 30 foot baggage section with four doors. The next car is a four wheel truck older heavyweight coach, followed by one of the new Osgood-Bradley lightweight coaches (aka: American Flyer) which still has it full side skirts applied. Check out the fireman leaning out of the cab window. If you blow the photo up to maximum size, using the all size control, you can actually read the SS-71 number on the tower.
