New Haven Railroad DL-109's, with an Extra Train for the Boy Scouts of America Tour and Convention group is seen after entering the secondary line that leads to New York Central passenger Station at Beacon, New York, May 1950

            New Haven Railroad DL-109's, with an Extra Train for the Boy Scouts of America Tour and Convention group is seen after entering the secondary line that leads to New York Central passenger Station at Beacon, New York, May 1950.  This photo is not of the highest image quality, however, it depicts the area where the New Haven Railroad tracks to Beacon, New York, parallel the New York Central Hudson Division main line tracks along side of the Hudson River to the right.  In the background the train almost looks like a snake!  There appears to be an entrance to a railroad yard on the right.  If you notice there are two white flags mounted on the nose of the lead New Haven Railroad DL-109 diesel electric locomotive, that indicate an Extra Train.

The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown.  This negative came from my collection.
