            New Haven Railroad ALCO 1928 built, R-3-a class 3 cylinder 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 3553 seen on a turntable with employees at the Cedar Hill Yard in New Haven, Connecticut, ca mid 1930's. An ATS train control box is seen mounted on the pilot deck of the locomotive.  You can see the turntable operator learning out of his shack window.  In the roundhouse you can see the tender for a Brooks built I-2 class 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive 1301.  These employees look very proud of their work of maintaining these beasts of the rail.
