New Haven Railroad Deluxe Smoker Coach 6831, with 4 wheel straight equilized trucks, is seen on a Railroad Enthusiast Extra train at an unknown location in 1951

            New Haven Railroad smoker coach 6831, with 4 wheel straight equilized trucks, is seen on a Railroad Enthusiast Extra train at an unknown location in 1951.  Evidently the train is stopped at a point of interest and the passenger railfan ehthusiast are out and about taking in the scene.  The four wheel straight equalized trucks seen on the Deluxe Smoker Coach have Fafnir Roller Bearing installed.  This car was among the last heavyweight cars received by the New Haven Railroad and was delivered in 1930, by the Osgood-Bradley works in Massachusetts, which became a part of Pullman.  In the underbody area you can see components of the air conditioning unit, such as the compressor condensing unit.  During this time period most railfans pretty much dressed up for their rail adventure fan trips.
