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.
The name of the photographer that captured this image is unknown and it came from a photo that was on the Internet. This photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance.

NS EMD SD40-2 locomotive # 6107 & another lead a manifest freight train southbound across a curved main line deck bridge, that's approximately 40 miles north of Chattanooga, Tennessee, October 1987. Further back in the train's consist is TOFC equipment. This photo was taken while I was out and about chasing the N&W steam locomotive # 1218 that was leading a railfan excursion train. The Fall leaf changing colors were starting to standout among the trees. You can see in the lead locomotive the engineer and another crew member, perhaps the conductor. In the cab of the second locomotive you can see another employee riding in the engineers position.
Southern Railway main line Extra manifest freight train led by EMD GP38-2 locomotive # 5229 along with two more, is seen while entering the yard area at Asheville, North Carolina, August 1985. Notice the white flags mounted on the locomotives to indicate an Extra train. The train is about to pass the Yard Limit sign in the Biltmore Village area of Asheville. At this time the yard and main lines including the branch lines were all busy with numerous trains operating throughout the day. This photo was taken while on a Southern Railway railfan excursion train trip that was led by the famous Mikado steam locomotive # 4501, with the train operating from Salisbury to Ahseville and return. You can see the engineer and the other crew member in the cab.
New Haven Railroad EMD GP9 # 1210 & ALCO FA-1 # 0401 lead freight train NH-2 on an express track, while GE EP-5 # 371 leads a mail & express train on a platform track at Stamford, Connecticut, 10-18-68. A old "Seagram's 7" ad sign is to the right. You can observe the triangular configured catenary used in this area of the railroad.
This photo came from my collection of New Haven Railroad negatives, however; the photographers name is unknown.

New Haven Railroad DERS-1b class ALCO RS-1 diesel electric locomotive 0663 is seen while spotted on a siding in an unknown yard area, ca late 1950's. This locomotive has plain journal bearings as compared to most others with roller bearing being installed. Several of this locomotives were retired prior to the Penn Central take over of the New Haven Railroad, but a few did makle into the PC. An interesting fact is that when these locomotives were new they had steam generators installed and were intended to power short commuter trains on branch lines. However; they were apparently under powered for this service, so they wound up being used in light duty local freight train service. These diesel locomotives were powered by the ALCO 539-T series turbo charged six cylinder in-line prime mover with 1,000 hp provided for tractive effort purposes.

Denver & Rio Grande Western eight car Rio Grande Zephyr led by EMD F9A locomotive # 5771 and two F9B locomotives heads westbound along the main line to Salt Lake City while in the mountains of Utah, Summer 1980. At this time the D&RGW was not part of Amtrak and the Denver Zephyr was still owned and operated by the railroad. The train was in very good condition and provided full dining and lounge car services along with very comfortable seating for the coach passengers. On this trip I made a scenic photo adventure covering all areas of the trip detailing the mountain countryside scenes along with various train scenes. Notice the high exhaust stacks on the diesel locomotives that are actually spark arrestors.
The train crosses the profile of the Castle Gate formation. This was the return of a special trip to Las Vegas through Utah, 9 November 2022.

Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is operating on a tight radius main line curve in the foot hills as it makes its way to the front range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Summer 1980. With the many main line step grades and the numerous tight radius curves, the trains speed is not all that fast, perhaps around 35 mph as it makes the climb. You really can hear the EMD 567 prime mover working hard. Again too at this location are ties set out on the right-of-way for replacement by the MOW crews.
Denver Rio Grande & Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is rounding a main line mountain curve while it is passing a MOW crew in Colorado, Summer 1980. In the distance you can see mountains beyond the forest area.
Penn Central diesel electric locomotives EMD SW1200 # 9195, ALCO RS3 # 5482 & EMD GP9B # 3808 are seen in the former New Haven Railroad Cedar Hill Yard at New Haven, Connecticut, 1972. In the back ground other locomotives such as EMD GP9's and GE U25B's are seen. The catenary has been long gone since the New Haven Railroad days of the late 1950's and early 1960's, and the yard is just a shadow of itself by this time due to the removal of numerous tracks. Bob Hughes was able to photograph this view I believe from one of the various overhead walkways that were situated in the yard area. Notice that you can clearly see the engineer in the cab of the EMD SW1200 switcher in the bright sunlight. Deep in the background you can see one of the old roundhouses.
New Haven Railroad ALCO DL-109 DER-1c class diesel electric locomotive # 0710, with its passenger train, is seen while operating between Hartford and Waterbury, Connecticut, ca 1951. Check out the nice looking blade semaphore block signals (ATS) still in operation on this date.
The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. This photo image came from the Internet and I enhanced it for presentation. This photo was colorized by me.

In 2023 werd weer Terug naar Toen georganiseerd door de Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM). Hoogtepunt dit jaar was het weer in dienst komen van de 41 241. Dat was duidelijk te merken aan de hoeveelheden toeschouwers en fotografen langs de lijn ; ) In actie kwamen naast de 41 241, ook de 44 1593, 50 307, 52 3879, 50 3654, 65 018, 23 071, 64 415, 2459, 2530 en de SSN 01 1075. Samen met mijn oudste zoon langs de lijn en op het depot doorgebracht. Het was schitterend weer; 's ochtends mist en later veel zon, maar daardoor helaas minder stoomontwikkeling. Weer een geslaagde dag uit.
n 2023, 'Terug naar Toen' was organized again by the Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM). The highlight this year was the return to service of the 41 241. This was clearly noticeable from the numbers of spectators and photographers along the line ; ) In addition to the 41 241, the 44 1593, 50 307, 52 3879, 50 3654, 65 018, 23 071, 64 415, 2459, 2530 and the SSN 01 1075 were also in action. Spent along the line and at the depot with my eldest son. The weather was beautiful; mist in the morning and later a lot of sun, but unfortunately less steam development. Another successful day out.
Im Jahr 2023 wurde 'Zurück nach Damals' erneut vom Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM) organisiert. Der Höhepunkt in diesem Jahr war die Wiederinbetriebnahme der 41 241. Dies war deutlich an der Zahl der Zuschauer und Fotografen entlang der Strecke zu erkennen; ) Neben der 41 241 waren auch die 44 1593, 50 307, 52 3879, 50 3654, 65 018, 23 071, 64 415, 2459, 2530 und die SSN 01 1075 im Einsatz. Das Wetter war wunderschön; Morgens Nebel und später viel Sonne, aber leider weniger Dampfentwicklung. Ein weiterer erfolgreicher Ausflugstag.
New Haven Railroad DERS-2c class ALCO RS-3 locomotive # 560, is seen in a yard service, maintenance and repair area, ca mid 1950's. These universal main line road switchers could be found all around the system either leading freight or passenger trains, or working as a switcher in a yard.

Western Pacific Railroad EMD F7A diesel electric locomotive # 914A along with four other F-units is leading a manifest freight train as seen viewed going away in the area of Altamont Pass, California, March 18, 1972. In this scene you can see the high capacity boxcars of the era and they look pretty darn good to me. Eventually this railroad became the property of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1981, as did numerous other western and mid-western railroads over the years. This photo came from an Internet scan. The photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance. The original photographer's name is unknown.

Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is seen while climbing a Rocky Mountain grade as it heads west in Colorado, Summer 1980. The train must continue to gain altitude as it crosses the Rocky Mountains. The block signal to the left just turned from green to red as the train entered the block.
New Haven Railroad GE U25B # 2511 and another U25B are seen leading an eastbound manifest freight train on express track while passing the station at Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. The first group of gondolas appear to being carrying scrap materials. Bob Hughes took this photo from ground level near his tower SS38 location.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr, led by EMD F9A locomotive # 5771 and two F9B engines, is seen rounding a portion of a main line "S" curve that's along side of a river or stream in Colorado, Summer 1980. The weather conditions for the westbound trip were much improved over the eastbound return trip the following day.
CP 470-29 roars thru Sturtevant with BNSF SD70MACe No 9749 and CP SD40-2 No. 6009 for power. This surely was an unusual consist but I definitely wasn’t complaining about it!
Turning C 209 in Banagher, Co. Offaly is the title of this O'Dea image from 1962. Living near a railway yard as a child, I often watched the turning of the old steam engines on the turntable and enjoyed the sight of the mighty engine being handled like a baby. In this case it is a diesel engine which is a bit unusual in my experience, as they had cabs at either end? I look forward to being corrected.
Thank you all for the contributions to the streets of Athenry on Friday. It was fascinating to watch!

Denver Rio Grande & Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is rounding a main line curve while passing through a rock cut as it continues its trip in Colorado, Summer 1980. There are numerous rock cuts seen along the right-of-way.
CSX southbound manifest freight train that is led by five diesel locomotives just crossed a diamond over the Norfolk Southern north-south main lines in Cordele, Georgia, 1990. Today a train such as this would perhaps be led by only two newer locomotives. This location was very active at this time with numerous trains being operated on both CSX & NS main lines, along with a short line operator being present.
On the weekend when some lucky person in Clare won €30 million in the Euromillions lottery it would be churlish not to visit and Mr. O'Dea provides the ideal opportunity to do so. Miltown Malbay railway station as it was in 1956 is the subject of the image with a diesel engine at the fore stands at the platform. There's a choice of bicycles available for those who might need to catch up if the train has left the station - or is that taking "Are you right there Michael" too far.

Penn Central ex New Haven Railroad GE U25B locomotive trio lead a manifest freight train past the station passenger platform tracks at Danbury, Connecticut, early 1970's, Bob Hughes Photo. You may notice that the catenary wire is down on this once electrified line, however, the catenary support structures are still in place.
This is "Triton" one of the Engines operated by the North Bay Railway (NBR) is a miniature railway in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. It was built in 1931, to the gauge of 20 in (508 mm), and runs for approximately 7⁄8 mile (1.4 km) between Peasholm Park and Scalby Mills in the North Bay area of the town.
New Haven Railroad locomotives FM DERS-6 class H16-44 # 1608 & ALCO DER-2a class FA-1 # 0401 lead an eastbound freight train with new U.S. Mail trucks on board flat cars ready for delivery, as seen from tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, ca 1968, Bob Hughes Photo. You may observe the engineer in the cab window of locomotive # 1608.
New Haven Railroad DER-1 class, ALCO DL-109 # 0712 & another, lead a stopped west bound passenger train at the station in New London, Connecticut, ca 1949. It is winter with snow still present and steam vapor from the locomotive's steam generator is escaping from various fittings. Check out the experimental short lived paint scheme found on these two locomotives. This train will continue its trip along the Shore Line to New Haven, where an electric motor will power it for the remainder of its trip to one of the New York City's two stations. These locomotives still retain their original side panel windows, evidently because they have not been modified to the latest DER-1c class level.
