Branching Out (Part 2) |

Posted by Bill D on Sun Jul 20 20:06:20 2014 After completing the run to Danbury, I had plenty of time before the next train to Waterbury. I had some lunch, then took a short ride up to New Canaan and back (1718/1755). At New Canaan station (should have brought along clippers to trim the tree branch)  New Canaan - end of track Returning to Stamford, I had time to spend getting some shots from the platform. Plenty of midday action!  Acela train 2159 arriving at Stamford  One M-8 set heading into Stamford Station on track 1, the other switching into the yard from track 4 after completing a local out of Grand Central.  Amtrak Regional train 172 arriving late at Stamford.  My Waterbury train (1924) was delayed getting clearance out of the yard, and was sent over to track 3 due to the late Amtrak arrival.  We pass a work train pulled by 106 (looking like a steam locomotive), which followed us up to Fairfield from Stamford.  Also passed this P&W freight sitting under I-95 near Fairfield Avenue in Bridgeport.  Finally, back at Waterbury.  127 hustles train 1971 out of Waterbury, 20 minutes late due to our delays at Stamford. A great day of railroading! And thanks to the fantastic crew members for their cooperation. A complete set of photos can be found here: Metro North 7/18/14 |
