John Jornod General I'm not sure when color came out only know it was before I was born, but this is one of the earliest locomotive shots I've seen. Just beautiful! ! 9/23/2014 9:13:22 PM
Robert Farkas General I almost thought this was a model because it looks too rare to be real. An "A+" image. 5/25/2015 9:04:24 AM
Paul Rome General Great shot John! Thanks for posting! 11/5/2016 4:15:23 AM
Tom Beckett General This was a common sight at the time, I'm sure; it looks really good now!! The image reeks of big time railroading, which the New Haven was on the Shore Line, though the prosperous appearance belied its shaky financial status. In 20 years, it would be gone, forced into PC. It was a neat little railroad that could only have existed in New England. 12/25/2018 4:52:56 AM
Scott Crotwell General Wonderful shot and catch! 2/1/2020 3:44:53 PM
