ACELA REGIONAL #173 at
Southampton Street Yard.
It looks like a regular ol'
conventional Amfleet train to anyone who knows better.
We used to call them "Yankee
Clipper," "Merchants Limited" and "The
Senator." Hopefully some day soon when all the nonsense ends
we'll see the train names return and the ACELA blob will dissapear.

What a CREW!
Here we
find the crew on #2170 taking a much deserved break enroute to
Boston. Left to right we have LSA Steve "Baby Boyd" Drew,
LSA Courtney, LSA Vic and Conductor/Actress Colleen Powers.

Talk about the apple not falling far from the tree. Here is
Locomotive Engineer John Covington with his son John Jr.

Conductor Jimmy Harris What
is he up to now?
You never know what to expect
from this character. He is without a doubt one of the pride and joys
of the New Haven Crew Base.

Conductors Colleen Powers and Bob Macrae ham it up
