            New Haven Railroad excursion train observation car Flying Cloud in the consist for the Railroad Enthusiasts Special, ca late 1930's.  It appears that the photographer standing on the right is preparing to take a photo of the man with a smile that is bending down and resting his arms on the hand rails on the observation car's rear platform.  The rear platform on these type of observation cars only have a 14 inch wide service deck area.  Because of the triangular style catenary this location must be somewhere to the West of Stamford, Connecticut.  Since the trees have no leaves and long coats are being worn. this must be late fall, winter or early spring.

This photo came from my New Haven Railroad photo collection, however; the photographers name was not available.  Any credit for this photo must be provided to the original photographer.
