CDOT car |
Description: |
Connecticut DOT acquired a variety of rail equipment, which was painted variously for Metro North, Amtrak, and later New Haven, heritage units long before NS or UP had the idea. Despite the paint jobs, it ran where DOT needed it, and it was not uncommon to see an Amtrak painted car on a New Haven commuter train. Such is the case here, a CDOT car painted Amtrak working on the Danbury Branch. |

I was out before daybreak on my day off-I worked nights and Id typically get done around 0100, go home, have dinner, watch TV, then head out to whatever train watching spot I had targeted. Today its Wakefield in the Bronx to catch the morning rush action. I got there before the sun was high enough to get good light, but shot photos anyway. Heres a set of ex NYC MUs rolling toward Grand Central on the Harlem Line. |

Woodlawn was a great place to watch the Harlem and New Haven Lines, since the New Haven joined the ex NYC just north of here. Not sure why I didnt shoot the Connectcut cars, though I was surely going after the diesels, which even then were rumored to be up for replacement. Who knew some would last another 25 years. |

New Haven power |
Description: |
The state of Connecticut financed the rebuild of a group of four FL 9s. Ideally meant for service in that state, they went right into the general pool. This was inevitable, since the maintenance base was at Harmon, and theyd have to get there somehow. This one is on a Poughkeppsie train at Garrison. |
