New Haven Survivors

The 1 PM Cape Cod Central Railroad scenic train has just arrived for its 3 PM on time return to Buzzards Bay station at MP 54.7 on the MassDOT owned and Mass Coastal operated Cape Mainline. Very much on home rails is the railroad's former CDOT EMD FL9 2026 blt. Sept. 1957 as New Haven 2007 and dressed in the McGinnis era livery it was delivered in. Walking away from the engine at left is Mass Coastal and Cape Cod Central Railroad President and owner Chris Podgurski who was working as a crew member this day.

The 1911 vintage interlocking tower, U-416 in NH parlance, is still manned to control the interlocking derails for the bridge and the Canal Jct. switch on the east side of the bridge and a Mass Coastal train dispatcher works out of the vintage structure. The platform canopy connects it to the 1912 built depot out of sight to the left.

You may be wondering why the station and tower are set so far back from the tracks, but neither were moved and both remain in their as built locations. For nearly six decades there were four tracks alongside the depot and the New Haven would combine or break apart trains destined to or from the Woods Hole branch or the mainline to Hyannis and the upper Cape. Additionally there was a wye that surrounded the station whose tail track led to a small freight yard located along the pre canal RofW. All of this was controlled by the electro-pneumatic interlocking machine located in the tower which also controlled the derails and signals for the drawbridge and the junction on the other side. Alas all that trackage was removed by Penn Central leaving only the mainline and a wide lawn where the other three tracks were once located.
