New Haven Color Pictorial Vol. 1: The West End.

In this book we will take a look at the New Haven's electric locomotives and multiple unit cars. New Haven was the pioneer of main line AC electrification in the United States. Due to the New York State Act of 1903, steam locomotives would be banned in Grand Central Terminal and the Park Avenue Tunnel by July 1, 1908.

New Haven's experience with DC was that it was only good for light traction. So, in order to operate over its own lines and into Grand Central, the New Haven would have to operate on both a 650 volt DC third rail and 11,000 volt AC overhead wire, a formidable challenge for 1905-1907. This four track mainline electrification would be expanded to New Haven, Conn. by 1914, Cedar Hill Yard by 1915 and over the Hell Gate Bridge route by 1917.

The route covered includes from New York City on to New Haven and Springfield, Connecticut with photographs of the electrics and diesels and includes an electric locomotive roster.

New Haven Railroad: The Final Decades

The New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad quietly vanished on January 1, 1969, when it was acquired by the 20,000 mile Penn Central. Always a compact operation, the New Haven ran 350 locomotives over 1,500 route-miles in four states during its last years.

No other smaller railroad had such variety in equipment. The New Haven simultaneously operated steam, electric and diesel-electric motive power. New Haven's final steam roster included ancient 2-6-0s, low-drivered 2-10-2s and high-speed streamlined 4-6-4s. The railroad's pioneering electrification offered train-watchers a full spectrum of motors in a multitude of wheel arrangements. New Haven's all-time roster of diesel-electric locomotives featured 558 units with 27 models from six builders. Colorful paint schemes and the sheer volume of traffic made the New Haven a railroad of note.

The New Haven Railroad had a well-deserved reputation for being an innovator. Despite its chronic economic difficulties, the NH's leadership somehow always managed to position it on the leading edge of railroad technology of the time. One of the New Haven's greatest technological claims to fame is that it was a leader in the field of railroad electrification. Presented here are equipment and locations of the NH's Electrified Zone.

This book is based on the collection of photographs owned by Robert A. Liljestrand. All of the black and white images in this book are from the Ed Hermann collection. Text and captions were written by Richard Abramson.

This volume is a true treasure. Bill McChesney is a heretofore never recognized master color photographer whose color work has been hidden for over fifty years. Now you can witness New Haven steam still in its prime. If you don't think this is vintage material, wait till you see the 1941 views of the legendary New Haven's EAST WIND in all its yellow glory!

There is far more steam than diesel in this one.
