            New Haven Railroad ALCO DER-3a class PA-1 diesel electric locomotive 0779 & another lead a railroad enthusiast excursion train running Extra that is stopped on the Maybrook Line, ca early 1950's.  The white flags indicate that this train is operating as an Extra train.  The PA-1's are still new enough that they have their coupler covers remaining on their pilots.  It appears that we have a railfan standing on the left side of the locomotive.  You can see that the locomotive's steam generators are in operation by the water vapor leaking out by the pilot.

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.
