Boston & Albany A-1a class LIMA 2-8-4 Berkshire steam locomotive 1423 is seen leading a manifest freight train along the main line, ca 1940. the first two boxcars are interesting in that they are both outside braced boxcars. The addition of the Elesco feedwater heater to the locomotive's smoke box adds interest and improves its appearance in my opinion. You can see the fireman in his cab window.

New Haven Railroad EP-3b class motor 0351 leads a westbound 9 car passenger train into a station platform at Stamford, Connecticut, 4-7-1946. This train consist is made up of heavyweight coaches, except for one Osgood-Bradley Pullman lightweight coach with full skirts remaining. All three tracks to the left of the platform serve the New Canaan Branch. Notice the distinctive installed triangular catenary at this location. The EP-3 motor has the sort of rare pin stripe paint scheme, but it is obscured along the sides due to road grime. Interesting too is the fact that the center carbody window has been filled in and that the brass chime air whistle has been replaced by an air horn. The swing bells on these motors received air clappers. These motors had their original air cooled main transformer replaced by a new main transformer that used pyranol and that ended the snow and rain problems affecting the original transformers. The new transformers also increased the continuous tractive effort. Roller bearing were also applied to all motor axles. The 0351, 351 after 1950, was the first motor of the class to be condemned in 1959.

Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Baldwin (built 1944) 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 11 is leading a long and heavy manifest freight train as it enters the New Haven Railroad yard area at Maybrook, New York, late 1940's.

New Haven Railroad J-1 class 2-8-2 Mikado steam locomotive # 3003, leads a manifest freight train across a main line bridge, ca late 1940's. This locomotives appears to really be working hard at this time. When these J-1 class steam locomotives were new they were often used as main line power, but in later years they were primarily used on the branch lines, secondary main lines, the Springfield Line and occasionally on the Shore Line. These locomotives in my opinion were really in effect a universal freight steam locomotive for the New Haven Railroad over their years of operation.

This is one of Bob Hughes cab rides where he was able to capture images observed along the various former New Haven Railroad routes.

Central Vermont U-1-a class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 603 leads a passenger train while operating on a main line, ca late 1930's. This class of light Mountain locomotives has a 210 psi boiler pressure with 73 inch drivers and produces 46,300 lbs of starting tractive effort. The CV had four of these Mountain steam locomotives (600-603) and they often were used on through trains and regularly led the "The Ambassador", "The Montrealer", "The New Englander" and "The Washingtonian". There appears to be a river on the left side of the photo.

Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Baldwin (built 1929) 2-8-0 Consolidation steam locomotive 93 leads an EXTRA (with white flags flying) manifest freight train out of the New Haven Railroad Yard at Maybrook, New York, ca 1940's. These Consolidation steam locomotives were among the largest and most powerful of this type of steam locomotive with 71,500 lbs of starting tractive effort. The Western Maryland had the most powerful of all Consolidation classes that produced 74,000 lbs of starting tractive effort. Just look at the width of the oversized giant Wooten firebox provided for burning anthrecite coal. You can see the fireman in his cab window looking ahead. The two tracks that turnout from the yard lead to the Lehigh & Hudson River right-of-way. You can see many long gone railroad names of the freight cars, such as the Southern Pacific reefer behind the tender, and to the left an ERIE hopper car along with a Southern Pacific - T&NO boxcar.

New Haven Railroad Budd RDC-1 coach is seen at a station platform in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, ca early 1950's. The RDC's took over the duties of numerous locomotive hauled trains and were used all over the system with that purpose. In the early days of RDC operation they had an appeal sign to Give to the American Cancer Society on their front ends. Out of sight in the right side background is the Cape Cod Canal Vertical Lift Bridge at Bourne, Massachusetts. It appears that the left side pilot section has hit something, because it is bent downward.

New Haven Railroad DER-1c class ALCO DL-109's with an Extra White Flagged passenger train is seen at an unlnown location, ca early 1950's. This may be a railfans special train or just an extra passenger train. Note what apperas to be a Conductor standing on the cab ladder of the lead locomotive 0700. Another long gone railroad name, Seaboard or SAL gondola, is situated on what appears to be a siding to the right. The lead locomotive 0700 was the first DL-109 delivered to the New Haven Railroad in the DER-1a class, but has been up-graded to a DER-1c class locomotive. with that fellow in the jacket standing by the turnout indicates to me that this may be a rail enthusiast special.

New Haven Railroad I-2 class Pacific steam locomotive # 1307, is seen leading a passenger train at an unknown location, ca late 1930's. In the cab you can clearly see the engineer at his post. One of the new at the time Osgood-Bradley coaches is seen coupled to the tender. This is probably a branch line train or one being operated on a secondary division. This beauty seems to be not long out of the paint shop! It is interesting to note that the # 1307 was wrecked beyond repair while operating on the Pittsfield Line during 1941. Also of note is that these I-2 class steam locomotives with their 73 inch drivers were true dual service engines, and were often used in that capacity. In 1948 a selected group of ten I-2 class engines were removed from service. However, a good portion of these locomotives lasted in service to nearly the end of steam operation, while a couple actually did.
