Southern Railway operated Norfolk & Western J-class 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive # 611, led railfan excursion train is to be turned on the wye by an EMD GP38 # 2801, spotted in the yard at Toccoa, Georgia, May 1983. This photo was taken from onboard a heavyweight coach while passing by the GP38. The cab and switching crew is standing near the front of the locomotive. Notice the white flags installed on the locomotive to indicate an extra movement. Also notice the old MOW speeder to the right.
Norfolk Southern operated N&W A class 2-6+6-4 coal burning articulated steam locomotive # 1218, has been turned for the Railfan Excursion Train return trip from Harriman Junction to Chattanooga, Tennessee, October 1987. Of interest is two short-line early model chopped nose EMD Geeps heading toward the camera. The markings on the side of these locomotive only have part of the information readable (US TVA, F&?, 028). Possibly one of the more knowledgeable railfans may know the name of this short-line. The second locomotive is numbered 027. The diesel locomotives will shortly arrive with the Railfan Excursion Train from Crossville.
Penn Central operation on former New York Connecting Railroad approach viaduct to Hell Gate Bridge with GG-1 leading an approaching passenger train heading in the opposite direction in New York City, New York, 1972. The New Haven Railroad motors were gone by this time and the GG-1 have taken over for Penn Station operations along with the FL-9's for GCT traffic in electric territory. Bob Hughes took this photo from an open dutch door window in a vestibule.

Penn Central business car # 3 brings up the rear of an eastbound passenger train as it passes by tower SS38 in light snow at Stamford, Connecticut, early 1970's, Bob Hughes Photo. Business car # 3 was delivered by Pullman to the New York Central Railroad during 5-1928, and its original weight was 195,200 lbs, but in this scene after modernization with the installation of electro-mechanical air conditioning equipment, plus additional other items, the car weighs closer to 100 tons. You can really see the escaping water vapor coming from the steam train line connector located below the rear platform of the business car. The car coupled ahead of the business car appears to be a combine lounge, with 1-day drawing room, 2-roomettes, and a 19 foot baggage compartment. The traffic that is seen on I-95 in the background is rather light.
New Haven Railroad RS-3 locomotive # 533 is backing a wire train onto a siding, with the engineer looking back at the camera and Bob Hughes in his window at tower SS38 in Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. Scenes such as this are usually only taken by employees with access to railroad facilities. The wire train is used by railroad crews to either repair the catenary wire or system components or to actually string new catenary wire.
New Haven Railroad Pullman Standard stainless steel MUT is seen with passengers preparing to board on a station express track, with the conductor selecting the stopping position, at a location west of Stamford 1959. Note the triangular catenary in this scene and the good load of passengers. This photo is a bit unusual in the fact that the express track is being used to board passengers rather thatn the normal platform track and this situation could become dangerous if it wasn't controlled correctly.

Penn Central Business Car # 31 "Queen Marry" is seen at the end of a westbound passenger train on a cold and dark winter day, with just a bit of snow remaining, after it just passed tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1970. This business car was not fully modernized as were many of the other PC business cars. You can see the very shiny rail at this location because even under the PC control the old New Haven Railroad four track electrified main line is still very well used, even with the cut-back on many passenger trains. Bob Hughes captured this image on film from his tower location.
Penn Central United States Department of Transportation lightweight stainless steel MU cars that are testing on the former New Haven Railroad electrified right-of-way in Connecticut, 1971. This test may be for the purpose to prepare for the operation of the Amtrak Metroliners on this main line. Bob Hughes took this photo.
New Haven Railroad middle era clerestory MUT's, with a motor coach bringing up the rear, is seen on the electrified main line East of Stamford, Connecticut, ca late 1940's. Notice that only one rear marker lantern is used on this MUT, You can see with the learn of the train that this curved track is super-elevated. This must be a warm summer day, because a good portion of the windows are open on each car.
The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. This photo came from my personal collection.

New Haven Railroad EF-2 class motor # 0112, EF-1 class motor # 0102 and another motor is seen on a siding in the Bronx, New York, ca early 1940's. The EF-2 motor is interesting in that it was a motor-generator electric locomotive built by GE in 1926 in a group of 5 electric locomotives that were delivered to the New Haven Railroad, and was among the only motor generator electric locomotives that were on the roster. The New Haven Railroad found these motor expensive to maintain and were often out of service. While in service the New Haven Railroad often used these EF-2 motors in pairs, because they were designed to MU. During 1948 they were condemned. However; motors 0113 & 0114 were saved for other duties at the Van Nest Electric Shops for use as 11,000 VAC converters to provide third rail 600 VDC power for testing other locomotives. This photo came from my personal New Haven Railroad negative collection.
Boston & Albany eastbound 5 car passenger train 7 (The Albany Morning Express) is seen at a station platform in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, 10-12-1939.

Southern Railway EMD GP38 locomotive # 2801, is seen from onboard in the yard while waiting to turn the Norfolk & Western J-class 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive # 611 hauled railfan excursion train at Toccoa, Georgia, May 1983. The GP38 has white flags installed to indicate an extra movement. The EMD cab crew and switchmen are standing to the rear.
Penn Central westbound passenger train with a PC Business Car, possibly # 22, is seen operating on an express track while bringing up the rear near tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1971. The ex Pennsylvania railroad B-60 baggage-express car isolated the business car from the rest of the train. This photo was taken under very dark light conditions and I lightened it for presentation, but you can plainly observe the business car now. Bob Hughes took this photo under extreme lighting conditions just to capture special equipment in operation.
New Haven Railroad flyover connection track is near the New York Central Harlem Division main line tracks with a NYC Heavyweight MU Train being seen on one of them at Woodlawn, New York, ca 1948. The two tracks to the far right are part of the NYC Harlem Division, with the third track being the New Haven Railroad flyover connection track. The three straight tracks on the left are the Hudson Division main line tracks. The Woodlawn Station is seen in the background along the Harlem Division where it spans the tracks. Also on the left near the station is a tower to control both railroad's lines. The track to the far left still has catenary for use by the New Haven Railroad to serve customers.

Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Baldwin 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 12 leads a departing southbound manifest freight train out of the New Haven Railroad Yard at Maybook, New York, ca late 1940's. In this scene the rods are down on the locomotive which typically improves the locomotive's appearance. The boxcar behind the tender is a Southern Railway boxcar, another old long gone railroad name. The train is turning out from the yard tracks to reach the L&HR main line.

New Haven Railroad Flat Bottom EP-3 electric motor # 356, is seen while leading a passenger train, as it operates on a main line express track, while passing a commuter station in electrifed territory, late 1950's. Numerous rarilfan's agree that the the NHRR EP-3 class boxcab motor may be the best looking box cab of all. The train's consist appears to include a deadhead heavyweight diner behind the locomotive, followed by a heavyweight baggage or REA car, along with ten post War stainless steel sheathed Pullman -Osgood Bradley built lightweight cars wearing the McGinnis scheme red window band. The photographer's name and station location are unknown.

Seaboard Coast Line GE locomotives are seen at the station platform in Sanford, Florida 1975. Locomotive # 1734, is a GE U33B, and it is followed by locomotive # 1708, a GE U30B. Seen on the left side background is a GE U18B locomotive. On the far right is what appears to be an EMD switcher moving some cars. The passenger cars seen in the background are from the original Auto-Train fleet and are in their own station yard tracks. Stamford was always a fairly busy station with re-fueling of locomotives performed on the main line platform tracks. At this location water was also supplied to passenger trains. Various freight train movements were handled out of this location, plus there was a small locomotive maintenance facility located there. This also was a station stop for Amtrak trains.
New Haven Railroad Railroad Enthusiast & train crew members with their train stopped on the electrified main line, by a catenary anchor bridge, are situated just west of the Cedar Hill Yard at New Haven, Connecticut, late 1930's. To the right is a freight train traveling between the main line and the working freight car portion of the yard. The railroad enthusiast seem to be observing something on a higher level to the left. An interesting item is that the heavyweight coach has the more unusual four wheel straight equalized trucks installed. In the background while looking down the tracks is the very large Cedar Hill Yard coaling tower. There appears to be a signal station (signal tower) behind the coach along the track on the left, and it may be for the Hartford Line?

While I am taking an on coming action photo, others are preparing to take a going away photo. Many of the passengers and other rail fans not involved in photography are still aboard the train and you can see them leaning out of the baggage car doors and the vestibule dutch doors.
New Haven Railroad MUT commuter train, led by a combine RPO-Baggage MUT trailer, is seen operating on the main line in the electric zone, 1950's era. It appears that the first compartment of the combo is being used for mail bag storage. This train's consist appears to be about twelve cars in length. The photographer's name and photo location is not known.

Former New Haven Haven Railroad Hartford Railroad Yard is seen on a rainy day at a location north of the downtown area in Hartford Connecticut, October 2002.
At this time the Central New England Railroad (CNZR) and the Connecticut Southern Railroad (CSO) interchanged freight cars in this yard. In this later day view the New Haven Railroad Hartford Yard is only a small shadow of its former self.
The PC operated this yard after the merger of the New Haven Railroad into its system, then later Conrail operated the yard. Amtrak today passes along side of the remaining yard.
At one time this was an active moderately large hump yard, that also had both inbound and outbound yard tracks, plus passenger car tracks, along with some service shops and other facitlites. This yard also connects directly to over a Connecticut River bridge to the East Hartford Yard, again a much smaller yard today, that also formerly held NYNH&H car shops and locomotive servicing facilities. The Valley Branch also connected directly to this yard, plus a connection to the old Central of New England Railroad was in place. Numerous freight trains during the NYNH&H RR's heydays operated from this yard to reach the Maybrook Line. There once was a large freight house operation connected to this yard that was located on Morgan Street.
New Haven Railroad former wooden 4400 series car now, in MOW work train service as # W-160, ca mid 1950's. These old steel frame wooden cars were painted red with white lettering, and found new life as work cars and B&B gang cars, etc. The cars have been modified to suit their new purpose, with the diaphragms removed, along with the vestibule doors also being removed. In reality this old wooden car appears to be in very good shape, considering its age at the time, plus it also appears to have been freshly painted.

New Haven Railroad station platform with numerous passengers awaiting a train's arrival on the Berkshire Line at Lee, Massachusetts, ca 1940's. It appears that a kid is standing out in a dangerous area on the tracks. The order-board semaphore signal calls for a train stop. There appears to be some mail bags on the baggage cart ready for transfer to the train. By the condition of the trees with no leaves, and the people wearing heavy overcoats, it appears to be winter season.

New Haven Railroad Steel Baggage-RPO car 2766 is seen at Danbury, Connecticut, ca mid 1950's. The New Haven Railroad had various series or classes of Baggage-RPO cars that are similar to this type of car. These cars had a 30 foot mail compartment with a single door on each side and a 30 foot baggage compartment with two doors on each side for quick handling. The cars were considered to be 60 footers, however; they were 64 feet over the pulling faces of their couplers. This series of cars was built by Osgood-Bradley in 1915. In the background on the other side of the car you can see a portion of the roof of the station building.

Lehigh & Hudson River Railroad Baldwin (1918) 2-8-2 Mikado steam locomotive 82 along with a Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad ALCO (1934) 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive 1649, which has a crew backing it on a track situated at an interchange location, late 1940's. You can see a crew member holding the grabs on the tender of the backing DL&W steam locomotive. On the left side background you can see other crew members walking toward the camera. The box in the left side foreground appears to be a call box. If you notice, the DL&W increased the coal capacity of the 4-8-4 tender by increasing the height of the original coal bunker. Those 4-8-4's were also dual purpose steam locomotives, and you can see the steam line connector on the tender near and below the coupler. These Pocono locomotives produced 76,000 lbs of starting tractive effort with their 74 inch drivers.

New Haven Railroad MOW speeder with crew is seen at East End Botsford, Connecticut, September 2, 1949. Don't know the manufacturer of the speeder, but many of them were built by Fairmont. This speeder appears to have a canvas front end, where newer models typically have metal front ends. This section of the railroad is a part of Maybrook Line in Connecticut, and the location is about 9-10 miles east of Danbury.

Seaboard Air Line EMD E7 diesel electric locomotives # 3037 & 3040, are seen in locomotive service and sanding area of the yard at Hialeah, Florida, 9-20-1960. You can an employee connecting a sanding refill hose to the locomotive # 3037. The locomotives are coupled elephant style as is typical on the SAL. You can see a whiff of steam escaping by the lead locomotive's pilot area. These locomotives are used to lead Seaboard's Silver Fleet trains, such as the Silver Meteor and the Silver Star in this area. These E7 locomotives look a bit more modern with the installation of the F7 style of number boards as compared to the conventional E7 style of number boards.

New Haven Railroad F-5 class (aka: Bull Moose) Consolidation 2-8-0 steam locomotive # 151, along with its freight train is seen at an unknown location, ca late 1940's. The photographer is unknown, but it may be Wayne Brumbauch. This easy going countryside scene is a good example of the New Haven Railroad branch line operations that were found in New England. It is nice to observe one of the original Central New England Railroad (CNE) ordered F-5 class 2-8-0 Consolidations still in operation after probably more than 35 years of service. These locomotives of course had been rebuilt, modernized, updated and improved throughout the years, plus a good portion lasted to the end of the steam era. It is also interesting to note that these locomotives kept their original numbering from the CNE.

Boston & Albany class Kj 1911 ALCO built 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive 551, is seen on the roundhouse turntable at West Springfield, Massachusetts 4-24-1936. Most of the stalls have locomotives in them and I believe that this is a complete circular round roundhouse. The tender assigned to this steam locomotive really appears to be small to me.

CSX south end yard view to the north end of the yard at Erwin, Tennessee, 4-7-2007. In this scene you may observe both loaded southbound and empty northbound unit coal trains that are spotted in various locations throughout the yard. In the background to the left is an old brick Clinchfield Railroad shop facility building, and in the center background you may observe the CSX car shops building. As you may see, this yard drops down to a lower level and expands out to numerous tracks seen on the left side of the photo. This former Clinchfield Railroad yard and shop facility is now closed and out of service due mostly to the downturn in the coal business.
New Haven Railroad F-1 class Atlantic 4-4-2 steam locomotive # 1101, with a 2 car lightweight Osgood-Bradley (aka: American Flyer) coach train is seen on the main line in a location between Providence and Boston in 1938. You can plainly see the fireman standing in the gangway area while learning out. The Osgood-Bradley coaches are seen in their original configuration with the full skirts still intact. Another interesting fact is that the first coach is a 10 window version, while the second coach is an 11 window version. Trains of this type were often provide as protection service for the New Haven Comet streamlined self-contained train set that was operated at this time between Providence and Boston. This steam locomotive powered train that is hauling the two lightweight coaches would have no problem making the Comet's scheduled times, plus it could actually haul more passengers. Am glad that I was able to coax this interesting photo out of a small 3-1/2 x 5" photo print to provide this image for all to view.
New Haven Railroad westbound round roof 5 car MUT is at the station platform in Riverside, Connecticut, September 17, 1960. The end MUT is a combo baggage-coach trailer that has the red flags. On the right is a man picking up newspapers from a recent deliver drop off. Check out the nice appearing GM product seen on the left, perhaps a 1958 Oldsmobile four door hardtop. The name of the photographer that took this photo is unknown.

New Haven Railroad DERS-2b class ALCO RS-2 locomotive 0504 is leading a passenger train on a partially snow covered branch line by SS199 at Berkshire Junction, Connecticut, ca late 1940's. These short trains, typically with about four to five cars, operated between Danbury, Connecticut and Pittsfield, Massachusetts on the Berkshire Branch Line. As you can see the consist is fairly well divided between head-end car and coaches. The New Haven railroad received their ALCO RS-2 steam generator equipped locomotives in the 1947-1948 time period.

New Haven Railroad ALCO A-1 class American 4-4-0 steam locomotive 1267 leads a commuter train that is seen at a platform in South Station at Boston, Massachusetts, 1936. Now this is really making use of an old steam locomotive that still has slide valves. As you can see the first car coupled to the tender is an almost new at the time, Osgood-Bradley Pullman coach, aka: American Flyer", which indicates that the old works with the new.
