Penn Central ALCO S-1 # 9494, former New Haven Railroad switcher, is seen along a platform at New Haven Union Station, 1970. Certain trains were still handled as they were back in the day, with cars being transferred to other trains and a few locomotive changes were still being made when the FL9 were not in charge and electric power was being used between New York City and New Haven. The car seen first on the train is a former Pennsylvania Railroad car.

Aspens at Soldier Summit glisten against the sun behind the Roper to Helper manifest freight. 8 October 2022.
On April 23, 2006, I rode a Speeder from Cordele to Plains, Georgia on a trip sponsored by NARCOA (aka North American Rail Car Owners Association). Since I don't own a Motor Car (aka a Speeder) , I rode with a friend who owns two Motor Cars. These are some photos that I took during my trip on the Heart of Georgia Railroad (aka: HOG).
I took This Photograph Near Cordele, Georgia, of a Heart of Georgia Freight Train at a Crossing with two Locomotives and some Freight Cars. I took this Photograph on the Monday after the NARCOA Trips of Saturday & Sunday. The Train consists of two Locomotives, a Lease Unit LLPX 3109 and Heart of Georgia Locomotive Number 1540.
Orange Locomotive Number 3109 is a Leased Unit belonging to Locomotive Leasing Partners. It is a General Motors (aka: GM), Electromotive Division (aka: EMD), GP40 (aka: General Purpose Model 40) Leased from Locomotive Leasing Partners (LLPX Number 3109), while Blue & Yellow Locomotive is Heart of Georgia Locomotive Number 1540, an EMD GP40, which I believe was built in 1966 as Canadian National Number 4007.
The Heart of Georgia is a Short Line railroad created in 1999 to lease and operate 177 miles (285 km) of track owned by the Georgia Department of Transportation between Mahrt, Alabama and Vidalia, Georgia, in the United States . My Photographs cover the section between Plains and Abbeyville. Georgia.
Elk jaar wordt met Hemelvaart de Nationale Stoomtreindag georganiseerd. Meestal zijn we dan bij de SGB of de RTM te vinden. Dit keer wilde ik, naar aanleiding van foto's die ik in Fb had gezien, eens naar de VSM. Samen met mijn oudste zoon op pad naar Loenen, waar we bijna een privé showtje goederenwagens rangeren hadden. Een groot deel van de ochtend hebben we bij de VSM doorgebracht, waarna we in de middag naar Zwolle zijn gegaan om daar nog de 1700 in dienst te bekijken.
Every year the National Steam Train Day is organized during Ascension Day. We can usually be found at the SGB or the RTM. This time, based on photos I had seen in Facebook, I wanted to go to the VSM. Together with my eldest son we went to Loenen, where we almost had a private show of shunting freight wagons. We spent a large part of the morning at the VSM, after which we went to Zwolle in the afternoon to view the 1700 in service there.
Jedes Jahr wird am Himmelfahrtstag der Nationale Dampfzugtag organisiert. In der Regel sind wir beim SGB oder beim RTM zu finden. Diesmal wollte ich, basierend auf Fotos, die ich auf Facebook gesehen hatte, zum VSM gehen. Zusammen mit meinem ältesten Sohn fuhren wir nach Loenen, wo wir fast eine Privatschau von Rangiergüterwagen hatten. Wir verbrachten den größten Teil des Vormittags im VSM und fuhren dann am Nachmittag nach Zwolle, um den dort im Einsatz befindlichen 1700 zu besichtigen.
Penn Central Ex EMD GP9 # 7540, PC Ex NHR RS-11 # 7673, Ex NHR GP9 # 1217 & Ex NHR GP9 # 1211 lead a westbound TOFC freight train nearing tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1970. Four locomotives operating as a set in electric territory was not as common as the three locomotive lash-ups. In the right background there are set of Pullman Standard lightweight stainless steel MUT's. Bob Hughes was able to get this photo from his tower location.
New Haven Railroad ALCO FA-1 locomotives # 0428 and # 0418 lead an eastbound manifest freight train on an express track while passing tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. These old ALCO cab units are still performing their job handling freight trains. You can see a portion of the city and highway I-95 in the background. Also in the background you may observe a New Haven set of round roof MUT's. Bob Hughes in tower SS38 took this photo.
In de zomervakantie van 2023 moesten mijn vrouw en ik wegens familie omstandigheden halsoverkop naar Aberdeen, Schotland. Tijdens een van de laatste dagen daar, bleek de Caledonian Railway een speciaal evenement te hebben; de Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Diverse door diesellocomotieven getrokken treinen reden tussen Brechin en Bridge of Dun. Op diverse plekken langs de lijn heb ik gefotografeerd en natuurlijk ook zelf weer een ritje gemaakt. Toch nog een geslaagde dag geweest.
During the summer holidays of 2023, my wife and I had to rush to Aberdeen, Scotland, due to family circumstances. During one of the last days there, the Caledonian Railway turned out to be having a special event; the Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Several diesel locomotive-hauled trains ran between Brechin and Bridge of Dun. I took photographs at various places along the line and of course also went for a ride myself. Still a successful day.
Während der Sommerferien 2023 mussten meine Frau und ich aus familiären Gründen eilig nach Aberdeen, Schottland, reisen. An einem der letzten Tage dort hatte die Caledonian Railway ein besonderes Ereignis; die Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Zwischen Brechin und Bridge of Dun verkehrten mehrere von Diesellokomotiven gezogene Züge. Ich habe an verschiedenen Stellen entlang der Strecke Fotos gemacht und bin natürlich auch selbst mitgefahren. Dennoch ein erfolgreicher Tag.
New Haven Railroad EMD GP-9 in the # 1200 series leads an eastbound train on a platform track in fresh heavy snow between the station and tower SS38 in Stamford, Connecticut, winter 1969. Don't know how many locomotives may be part of the consist, or if an actual freight train or possibly a passenger trains is following the locomotive. From the amount of snow being thrown up in the air the locomotive must be traveling at a good rate of speed. On the left are two sets of Pullman-Standard stainless steel MUT's that are located on stub end sidings deep in the snow. Bob Hughes took this photo from his nice and warm tower location.

New Haven Railroad ALCO PA-1 DER-3a class diesel electric locomotive # 0768, along with another, is seen while leading a Westbound departing passenger train in Boston, MA, ca 1960. To the right is a switcher leading some freight cars in the opposite direction. Check out the nice looking State of Maine box car on the right. Also seen on the right are four classic semaphore blade style block signals. Notice the vintage vehicles located in the left foreground, of which many are sought after today. Downtown Boston is seen in the background. The name of the original photographer that took this photo is unknown.
This photo came from my Al Chione duplicate slide collection.

New Haven Railroad ALCO C-425 # 2556 & GE U25B lead an eastbound manifest freight train under wire toward tower SS38 in Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. It appears that the fireman is giving a wave to Bob Hughes as he takes this photo. You may also notice that someone is riding deadhead in the cab of the second locomotive. Not to often did you see an C-425 in the lead because they were rough riders and the BLE had an agreement with the New Haven Railroad to not use these locomotives in the lead if possible.
Penn Central GP-9 # 7534, ex New Haven Railroad # 1204, is seen in the locomotive service & maintenance area at the shops in Maybrook, New York, 1970. Seen in the left side background is a GE U25B # 2667, ex New Haven Railroad locomotive # 2507.

Good morning campers! Rather than continue with a saga of Lawrence images, I thought that a visit to the O'Dea Collection would be a nice diversion. 'Long Pavement' is a funny name for a tiny railway station that doesn't appear to have any buildings attached? Tipperary doesn't sound right somehow but perhaps I am mistaken?
And indeed, the StreetView and OSI Map confirm that this Longpavement station (all one word) was in Limerick - near Moyross....

Elk jaar wordt met Hemelvaart de Nationale Stoomtreindag georganiseerd. Sinds twee jaar gaan we juist dan naar de VSM. Dit omdat er dan de hele dag gependeld wordt met een goederentrein met diesellocomotief. Vorig jaar was dit de 2530, dit jaar 'bakkie' 532. Samen met mijn oudste zoon ook dit jaar eerst op pad naar Loenen, waar we bijna een privé showtje goederenwagens rangeren hadden. En de rest van de dag hebben we langs de lijn of in Beekbergen, Loenen en Eerbeek doorgebracht, waarbij de nadruk lag op de 532 met de goederentrein.
Every year, National Steam Train Day is held on Ascension Day. For the past two years, we've been going to the VSM on that day. This is because there's a freight train with a diesel locomotive running all day. Last year it was the 2530, this year it was the 532. My eldest son and I headed to Loenen again this year, where we practically had a private show shunting freight wagons. We spent the rest of the day along the line or in Beekbergen, Loenen, and Eerbeek, focusing on the 532 and its freight train.
Der Nationale Dampfloktag findet jedes Jahr am Himmelfahrtstag statt. Die letzten zwei Jahre haben wir an diesem Tag die VSM besucht. Dort fährt nämlich den ganzen Tag ein Güterzug mit einer Diesellokomotive. Letztes Jahr war es die 2530, dieses Jahr die 532. Mein ältester Sohn und ich fuhren auch dieses Jahr wieder nach Loenen, wo wir beim Rangieren der Güterwagen quasi eine Privatvorführung hatten. Den Rest des Tages verbrachten wir entlang der Strecke oder in Beekbergen, Loenen und Eerbeek und konzentrierten uns dabei auf die 532 und ihren Güterzug.
NHRR ALCO FA-1 # DER-2a class locomotive # 0418 along with two EMD GP9 DERS-4 class locomotives lead a westbound manifest freight train on an express track near tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, ca 1968, Bob Hughes Photo. In this scene there is no snow on the ground but it is still winter because the roof of the freight cars are covered with snow. There is one of the colorful State Of Maine box cars following the locomotives.
Penn Central GE U25B # 2672 along with another U25B locomotive is seen leading a manifest freight train with an EMD SW1200 in tow while crossing a bridge on the former New Haven Railroad right-of-way in Connecticut, 1970. Again Bob Hughes was in the right location at the right time to capture this image on film.
Penn Central ex New Haven Railroad ALCO RS-11 locomotive # 7673 and EMD GP9 locomotive # 7544 lead what appears to be a westbound MOW train operating on an express track near tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1971. The two gondolas appear to be carrying ballast rock and the three flat cars appear to be carrying rail. Bob Hughes took this photo from his location in tower SS38.

Seen during a visit to Railtown 1897 in Jamestown California on 11-20-2015. Steam powered railroad crane, formerly of the Pickering Lumber Company. It looks to be in bad shape.
Penn Central ex Pennsylvania Railroad EMD E8 locomotive # 4262, along with a following FL-9 is seen leading a passenger train along the former New Haven Railroad Shore Line route, early 1970's, Bob Hughes Photo. At this time I do not have information about the location of the bridge on which the train has just crossed. There is no number on the block signal to identify the location either. Almost all passenger cars on this train now have a PC name plate applied to the letter board. You may observe the engineer and fireman within the cab.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is climbing a Rocky Mountain grade where a double ended siding enters the main line in Colorado, Summer 1980. As another viewer pointed out, that is an interesting short height block signal situated on the double ended siding.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr, led by EMD F9A # 5771, is seen operating on the single track main line at location West of Grand Junction in Colorado, Summer 1980. Again the scenery changes with much sand in this area and wild vegetation.
Penn Central former New Haven Railroad DERS-1b class ALCO RS-1 locomotive 9942 is seen in an unknown yard area, November 1969. This ALCO RS-1 is one of the few former NH RS-1 locomotives that made it into the Penn Central system, but they did not last very long in further service.

Denver & Rio Grande Western eastbound Rio Grande Zephyr has passed an eastbound freight train led by EMD GP40-2 locomotive # 3102, along with four additional locomotives, shortly after departing Grand Junction, Colorado, Summer 1980. The railroad was operating numerous freight trains including manifest freight trains and unit coal trains, however; I could not photograph them all, because some times they were being operated on the opposite side of the train from my location. There appears to be a major highway located in this area of the railroad.
Penn Central former Pennsylvania Railroad EMD E8 locomotive # 4262 along with a former New Haven Railroad EMD FL9 locomotive lead a Shore Line passenger train with PRR cars included across a bridge along the route in Connecticut, 1970. The FL-9 was numbered in the 5000 series by PC at this time. This was a rather unusual combination of locomotives, but with PC if it ran it was used evidently. You may observe the engineer through his front cab window. Bob Hughes captured this image on film.
NS GE C39-8 locomotive # 8583, operating long hood forward, along with another GE locomotive leads a manifest freight train past this main line grade crossing location prior to the arrival of N&W # 1218, with the Suwannee railfan excursion train in Georgia, November 1987. Numerous railfans, photographers and observers were at this location awaiting the arrival of the N&W # 1218 articulated steam locomotive led railfan excursion train.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is crossing a main line bridge that's situated in a canyon, Colorado, Summer 1980. EMD F9A locomotive # 5771 is leading this eight car train along with two additional F9B locomotives.
New Haven Railroad ALCO PA-1 0779 & another PA-1 lead a departing westbound passenger train at South Station in Boston, Massachusetts, ca early 1950's. You can see that the skirts are still in place on the train's stainless steel Pullman Standard lightweight passenger cars. Check out the long blade semaphore signals on the signal bridge.

Seaboard Coast Line EMD GP38-2 # 6057 & another lead a Family Lines Safety Express railfan excursion train between Tampa & Dunnellon, Florida, February 1981. This train will be turned at Dunnellon and then return to Tampa. All along this freight train route you could observe people, railfans and photographers watching the train. Some people believe that Florida is flat and that it doesn't have grades, but that's not true at all as you can see in this photo.
New Haven Railroad with two ALCO RS-11's leading a westbound Shore Line passenger train at Rocky Neck State Park with people seen at the shore in Connecticut, ca 1957. This passenger train consist has quit a mix of cars with the newer Pullman Standard stainless steel lightweight cars, Osgood Bradley-PS aka: American Flyer cars, along with some heavyweight cars. The shore is really active on this day with all of the people situated either on the beach or in the water. Remember going to this same location to watch trains back in the late 1940's until the mid 1950's.
The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is Mike Usenia. This is a modified, enhanced and cropped photo scan that is from a B&W image that was on the Internet.

Denver & Rio Grande Western eight car westbound Rio Grande Zephyr led by EMD F9A locomotive # 5771 and two F9B locomotives heads around a main line curve while passing a green block signal in Utah while on its way to Salt Lake City, Utah, Summer 1980. It seems that at just about every location the color of the surrounding terrain keeps on changing. The rails on this main line are well polished because numerous unit coal trains along with manifest freight trains are operated daily on this route. At this location there is an "S" curve present.

Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound eight car Rio Grande Zephyr is passing by one of the many coal branch lines, with a unit coal train approaching the main line connection in Utah, Summer 1980. The unit coal train appears to be powered by three EMD GP freight locomotives, and in the distance you can see the yellow caboose on that train.
