Busy day |
| Description: |
Most commuter ldnes 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. |

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. |
