New Haven Railroad Mac FCD Railbus Coach # 10 is seen at the station in Riverpoint, Rhode Island, 1952. In reality this railbus was a sucess on the branch lines in off peak hours and 9 additonal larger capacity FCD II Railbus Coach models with center doors, toilets and MU connections were ordered, but with the arrival of Patrick McGinnis as the new President of the New Haven Railroad who did not want to support passenger traffic on the branch lines, so in 1954 none of the railbuses were utilized except for newly arrived FCD II # 12 which operated between Providence, RI and Worcester, MA. However; in 1956 the service was stopped and all railbuses were placed in storage until sold with some going to Spain and to Sperry Rail Services. You may notice either a passenger or observer standing next to the far side of the station building. This Railbus was painted in a light green paint scheme with silver trim.

You may note that this train has a heavyweight dining car and an Osgood-Bradley lightweight grill car within its consist. You may also observe a couple of parlor cars ahead of the heavyweight diner, one lightweight and one heavyweight parlor car. This train appears to be about 16 cars in length and that's about a maximum size or length for Grand Central Terminal platforms. Not far behind the train is a flyover that crosses over the main lines, and prior to that the pantograph of the motor is lowered and the third rail shoe is activated.

New Haven Railroad with The Rexall Train and heavyweight Pullman Sleeper Observation Puretest seen at a platform in Union Station, New Haven, Connecticut 8-25-1936. The Rexall Train toured the United States and New Haven was one of its planned stop locations. All of the cars on the train were up-dated a bit with turtle back roofs being installed along with a refurbishment and then painted for the Rexall Drug Store Company. We appear to have three railroad employees in this scene. Notice the three boxes that are mounted below the sleeper observation car's floor, because they are for the ice activated A/C system. If you notice there are metal cans placed under the cars at various locations because back in those days all of the toilets and the sink water was disposed of on the track where everything was dumped. LOL The Puretest was built by Pullman as the Newport, and it was a 4-compartment sleeper observation and was used as the private quarters for Louis Liggett.

Penn Central ex New Haven Railroad EMD FL-9 locomotives # 2032 & another lead a westbound passenger train in the snow on the main line past tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, ca 1969, Bob Hughes Photo. It must be quite cold because the snow is hanging on to the locomotives and passenger cars. I-95 appears to be quite busy with traffic on this cold day. This train may be a named train operating in the afternoon sunlight with no head-end equipment and the first two cars appear to be parlor cars, plus it may be operating to Pennsylvania Station in New York City. Bob had a nice clear and bright day to capture this image on film from a tower window.

New York Ontario & Western Railway W class 2-8-0 Consolidation steam locomotive # 313, is seen while handling a southbound mixed passenger train that's stopped in a yard area at Norwich, New York, ca late 1930's. The consist on this train includes two wooden Express Refrigerator cars, a milk car, a flat car with load, a box car, and what appears to be three coaches. The engineer and fireman appear to be looking back on the train while it is stopped. The tall gabled roofed building seen in the left side background is the passenger depot, but it may also be for freight service too. Over the top of the box car on the train is a tower for controlling the crossing gates. Various employees are seen near the cars at the middle of the train. To me it is very interesting to see a Consolidation leading any form of passenger train, which was often the case on the NYO&W. This W class 2-8-0 Consolidation was built by ALCO Cooke Work in 1910 in a group of locomotives numbered from 301-314. This 568 mile railway operated in up-state New York, northeastern Pennsylvania and eastern, New Jersey. It also had various branches in New York State, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The main commodity that this railway hauled was anthracite coal, however; this lucrative business started to dry up after the end of the 1920's, as did their once busy passenger business. The other major commodity that was hauled was milk. The railway was liquidated on March 29, 1957, and thereafter over time all of its track was removed, and now it is just covers some pages in history. Do not know the photo location.

This excursion train went to Sterling, Colorado, where it was turned around for the return trip back to Denver, Colorado. You can see the fireman in his cab window looking back on the train with a 2-way radio in his hands..

Branch line track for short line Carolina Piedmont that has a manual switch stand that's near a diamond at Cordele, Georgia, 1990. The thing that I found interesting about this switch stand was the fact that there was a dwarf block signal included as part of it, which was not typical in most locations. The main railroad operators in Cordele are the Norfolk Southern and CSX.

New York Ontario & Western EMD F3 locomotive # 502 & another, are seen leading a stopped National Railway Historical Society railfan excursion train that's stopped in the New Haven Railroad yard at Maybrook, New York, ca early 1950's.

The society members are for the most part well dressed as compared to the clothes that may be wearing today on such a trip. The cars used for the excursion train were most likely borrowed and may belong to the New Haven Railroad. The EMD F3 locomotives are one of the earlier phases with the chicken wire situated over the side vents,

New Haven Railroad observation-lounge car, Bunker Hill, is seen in a working passenger yard storage area in New Haven, Connecticut, November 01, 1968, R Allen Pommer Photo. This photo is sort of sad because it was taken only two months prior to the New Haven Railroad being absorbed into the PC. Not many years after this observation-lounge car went into service, a diaphragm was added to the observation end to make the car usable in mid-train operation. Information regarding the yard's location as being New Haven was provided on the original slide, however, I did not recognize the location as New Haven, and perhaps someone else can verify the location. However, I did view another similar photo and it also said New Haven, so it probably is.
