Semaphores |

In the late 1970s, there were still semaphores to be found on the New Haven. Im looking out the front window of a New York bound train about to leave Stamford when I caught these relics. |

Busy day |
| Description: |
Most commuter lines tend to be heavy one way in te morning, the other in the afternoon. Such was not the case by the late 70s on the New Haven Line. Enough places had relocated to Fairfield County that ridership was prtty good in both directions most of the day. Its mid afternoon, and a good crowd is waiting for the New Haven bound train. |

Where the money comes from |
| Description: |
The State of Connecticut financed the cars that run on the New Haven Line, and wants to get the credit for that effort. Thus it has affixed the state seal to all of its rolling stock, as on this M 2 Cosmopolitan, seen at Grand Central. |

Rolling out |
| Description: |
A Grand Central bound train rolls out of Brewster on a cold winter day. The FL 9s were hand me downs from the New Haven, acquired when it was forced into the Penn Central n 1969. By then, the long haul business was in decline, and they started to work their way onto NYC lines, supplanting the Centrals fleet of RS 3s. Amtrak took a dozen of these units at start up in 1971, the rest going to PC. They became a staple of the diesel trains on the Harlem Line, as well as Poughkeepsie trains. |

CR in NY State colors |
| Description: |
The funding for commuter trains following the start up of Conrail was convoluted. NY State put up a big pile of money via the MTA to keep the trains running, with Conrail the contract operator. Thus we got some FL 9s painted in the PC paint pattern, but in NYSDOT colors, lettered for Conrail. Heres one in Grand Central |

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 |

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. |

| Description: |
One of the benefits of the Penn Central merger was that now FL 9s could run on the other commuter lines out of Grand Central, allowing NYCs various electric engines to be retired. Here a pair of them make their Peekskill stop with a Poughkeepsie train. |

For some reason I didnt get a clear shot here, but the SPVs were oddball enough to warrant the post. This is 297 rolling north for Poughkeepsie after dropping a few riders at Garrison |
