Remarks & Notes

A renumbered but not yet repainted ex-New Haven EP-5 electric swings through Milford, CT, with a Penn Central train that is probably a New Haven-Grand Central Terminal local. The EP-5s (PC class E-40) were favored for these multi-stop runs because they could accelerate much faster than FL9s.

Conrail, Erie Lackawanna, New Haven, New York Central and Penn Central ran exotic equipment - but very road worn and run down.

The time is gone, the song is over, snapshots and memories remains... Some things we remember, some we see now - and will not forget...

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