I don't know much of the history of this RS-11. I did manage to clip some brief info from another web site that will give you a brief history. After it arrives in Danbury I will learn more about it. Here's what I found: ----------------------------------------- CRTS Update #02-146 Sunday...

Beautiful. I like the way you shot this from a distance. It really gives the lonely feeling I'm sure these guys experienced at times. I hope he clears the bridge in time. ------------------ My photo albums: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=76905&Auth=false Peirce Southbury, CT...

I usually describe a "speeder" as the modern version of the handcar. Well, here is an original. This one is on display at the Valley Railroad station in Essex, Connecticut. One of the "pump" handles is missing. ------------------ My photo albums...

I received word earlier this afternoon that the former New Haven RS-11, recently acquired by the Danbury Railway Museum, is on the move. The latest word is it is in the Atlanta area and being moved by CSX, on its way to Connecticut. I do not have information on its route or ETA at this time...

My reason for this series is to get all of us to take a closer look around us. Especially us photographers. Most of us concentrate on the trains. This time I am not going to name the item in the photo, for a while. Let's see how many people recognize it. It has gone from a very common item...

We spend a lot of time and film photographing trains Without the infrastructure around them, the trains would not go anywhere. I am starting this off with a small piece of equipment--a groundthrow. This one is still in use in the Danbury Railway Museum railyard. It has patent dates of 1927...

Another important piece of railroad infrastructure: the service pit, used mostly for locomotives, it could also be used for any other rolling stock when work had to be done on the under side. This one, long out of use, is in the Danbury Railway Museum's yard. It is accessed from the turntable...
