            New Haven Railroad DERS-4 class EMD GP9 1208 & 1211 are seen leading a 10 car passenger train along the Shore Line, ca late 1950's.  The cab crews favored the GP9's.  These GP9's were dual service locomotives because they included a steam generator for passenger train service within the short high hood compartment.  Originally the under-body water tank held 800 gallons, but that was not enough, so additional tanks were added to the walkway behind the cab to bring the total up to 1,200 gallons.  These locomotives had a top speed of 83 mph, and they had a Hancock Air whistle mounted on their short hood.
