Reply to "any New Haven fans ...."

I posted these pictures on another thread but since there has not been much for us New Haven fans recently, I’m posting them here too.

The New Haven Railroad acquired the Virginian E33 electric motors in 1963 and, designated as EF-4, used them for freight operations between New Haven and Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, New York. They were later used by Penn Central, went to Conrail in 1976, and were retired in 1981. The twelve locomotives were purchased by the New Haven, where they were known as "bricks," for $300,000. They had 3,300 horsepower, 98,500 pounds starting tractive effort and a maximum speed of 65 mph. My MTH Premier models are older PS1s.
