            New Haven Railroad ALCO FA-1 0421, FB-1 0453 & another FA-1 diesel electric locomotive are seen while heading westward with a manifest freight train on the Maybrook Line as it passes through a rock cut, in the area of Poughquag, NY, ca early 1950's.  Notice the white sand on the eastbound track from locomotives operating on the grades in this area.  Aong the right-a-way on the westbound track are seen numerous ties, because this high density route has to be kept in the best condition.  This location is about 8 miles west of the Connecticut State line.  Notice that the fireman's front window not only has the sun shade down, but other items are situated in that area to keep out the blinding sun light.
