            New Haven Railroad manifest freight train is led by 3 Baldwin-Westinghouse EF-1 class motors 087, 083 & 099, with some lads looking on, at a location near the Cedar Hill Yard in New Haven, Connecticut, July 18, 1937.  The boys are dressed for summer with their white outfits as was typical back in the day.  Actually there are 3 boys in this scene, with the one up front appearing to be working on a camera along with another crouching on the small platform area, however; behind the catenary bridge support is another boy that you can see.  You can see what appears to be the fireman in the cab door looking across the tracks at the boys.  The boxcars see on this train provide an interesting grouping of wooden cars, wooden outside braced cars and steel cars with many being refrigerator cars.  One boxcar even has a ventilation door.
