New Haven Railroad EP-3b class motor 0351 leads a westbound 9 car passenger train into a station platform at Stamford, Connecticut, 4-7-1946

            New Haven Railroad EP-3b class motor 0351 leads a westbound 9 car passenger train into a station platform at Stamford, Connecticut, 4-7-1946.  This train consist is made up of heavyweight coaches, except for one Osgood-Bradley Pullman lightweight coach with full skirts remaining.  All three tracks to the left of the platform serve the New Canaan Branch.  Notice the distinctive installed triangular catenary at this location.  The EP-3 motor has the sort of rare pin stripe paint scheme, but it is obscured along the sides due to road grime.  Interesting too is the fact that the center carbody window has been filled in and that the brass chime air whistle has been replaced by an air horn.  The swing bells on these motors received air clappers.  These motors had their original air cooled main transformer replaced by a new main transformer that used pyranol and that ended the snow and rain problems affecting the original transformers.  The new transformers also increased the continuous tractive effort.  Roller bearing were also applied to all motor axles.  The 0351, 351 after 1950, was the first motor of the class to be condemned in 1959.
