            New Haven Railroad mechanics are installing a Wheel Truing Machine with a 230 ton wreck crane handling the load at New Haven Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut, ca mid 1950's.  Gee, there are almost as many suits around as there are employees installing the Wheel Truing Machine.  LOL  This location is just beyond the platform track area and almost is in line with the motor storage area West of the Station building.  The flatbed truck to the right appears to have a welding machine with generator on the bed.
