Title:  Alco-powered Work Train at Rye, N.Y., 1971
Description:  Alco's S2 -- a 1,000 horsepower B-B switcher built between 1940 and 1950 -- was a successful follow-up to Alco's 600 hp S1. Penn Central owned a lot of them because each of its constituent railroads, the New York Central, Pennsylvania, and New Haven, were good S2 customers. In 1971, S2 #9606 -- a former NYC unit -- pulls a heavy-duty crane towards New Haven on the 4-track mainline at Rye, New York. Ektachrome by Stephen \. Baldwin.

Hand me downs
Title:  Hand me downs
Description:  The Danbury-and upper Harlem and Hudson-trains uses a motley collection of cars that were passed down to commuter service as PC got out of the long distance trade. Many were wanting for maintenance, though to the casual railfan rider who didnt have to deal with their lack of heat in the winter, and overabundance of it in the summer, they were like riding a museum. The best train was one of the Danbury runs thad had a full set of New Haven "American Flyer" cars.

Unsung heroes
Title:  Unsung heroes
Description:  The unsung heroes of the New Haven line were these M-2s that were equipped with both pantographs and third rail shoes so they could make the flying change at Woodlawn and run from the ex New Haven onto the ex NYC electrified lines at speed. They soldiered on day in and day out for years. MUs may not be glamourous-wed all love to see washboards again-but they get the job done.
