Remarks & Notes

A former New Haven RDC now wearing Penn Central scare stripes glides along the Naugatuck River at Beacon Falls, CT, en route from Waterbury to Bridgeport. Budds covered all passenger service on this branch from the mid-1950s to the early 1980s. Today it's Metro North push-pulls.

The three biggest passenger carriers - Pennsylvania, New York Central, and New Haven - merged to create the ill-fated Penn Central, whose passenger losses and poor service led to the formation of Amtrak and state-owned commuter lines.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
