Good Afternoon - Nice New Havent timetable cover cut.  This one ran when the lectrification was relatively new.  Enlarge it and check out the overhead structure - unique to the NYNH&H

Good Morning - Fields Point, RI

PRSL was jointly owned as you suggested.

Nice coevr of the SOU steam engine and train - enjoyed the artisitc license as the mountains sort of look like Colorado and the trestle lloks like it came off the P&WV.  Anyway, it's the spirit that counts.

Work safe

Ahoy Cap'n Tom!

And the Turbo Train continues on here at the lonely thread . . .

Good Morning:  Interesting selection of pictures.  Turbo had a lot of color schemes throughout its career.  Quiz for the day - where was the refuel and repair shop for Turbos when they ran on the NEC?

Good Morning: Fine artwork and a vintage turbo shot.  I could never get used to the yellow nose, however.  Turbo was an interesting ride as I did it more than a few times when it ran between Boston and NY.  Best seat was in the bubble on the head end.  I tried to sit on the "fireman's" side as you could see all of the instruments, etc. the engineer used.  It was also good for watching signals, etc.  Incidentally, the nose was actually clamshell doors that could be opened.  Fiberglass, IIRC.
