Penn Central ex PRR GG-1 4877 with its head end heavy eastbound passenger train crosses the former New Haven Railroad Housatonic River Bridge at Devon, Connecticut, 1969

            Penn Central ex PRR GG-1 4877 with its head end heavy eastbound passenger train crosses the former New Haven Railroad Housatonic River Bridge at Devon, Connecticut, 1969.  This train which is operating on an express track has an interesting consist in that after the first four passenger equipped boxcars, there is a coach followed by a REA-baggage car, then another coach that is followed by another REA-baggage car bringing up the end.  Straight ahead after the bridge end, there is a commuter passenger station and a parking lot to the left.
