New Haven Railroad Baldwin-Westinghouse EP-1 motors 029 & 026, known as "Ponies" are seen spotted on a siding at Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut, ca 1930's

            New Haven Railroad Baldwin-Westinghouse EP-1 motors 029 & 026, known as "Ponies" are seen spotted on a siding at Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut, ca 1930's.  This old class of motors was capable of 100 mph speeds or greater according to railroaders.  Originally these motors were built without the pony trucks, but the trucks were soon added to improve their tracking abilities, plus they also provided their new name Ponies.  It appears that there is an old bus situated in the left side background area.

This photo came from my personal collection of railroad photos.  The photographer's name is unknown, however; all credit for the photo must be provided to him.
