A few shots from Connecticut's other tourist line, the all-volunteer
Naugatuck Railroad, in Thomaston, CT.

Crossing the Naugatuck River...


529 (RS-3) pulling northbound train through a cut north of Thomaston...


Train climbing the face of the Thomaston Dam...


Enjoy,
Lee

Metro-North goes to Waterbury, but then it would be a 9-10 mile taxi ride from Waterbury to Thomaston.

BTW, Essex station on the Valley Railroad is only 4 miles from Old Saybrook, which is serviced by either Amtrak or Metro-North/Shore Line East. There's both a shuttle bus and a tourist "trolley" that operates from Old Saybrook to Essex.

Lee, Alcos smoke it up a lot, but it has nothing to do with steam or the burning of coal :-)

Just wanted to make sure you weren't confused ;-)

Yeah, I noted the lack of smoke. I've never seen an Alco on the move that wasn't belching black smoke.
