Danbury Railway Museum - Danbury, CT.   RSS
We (Gary - Peirce & myself) spend Saturday May 17th at the Danbury Railroad Museum in Danbury, CT and then on Sunday, Kevin joins us from the Bronx and we all head into and around New Haven, CT. Because of the weather we didn't spend that much time walking around Yale University. We'll get together at another time and do all of Yale...its too fantastic a place to miss.

It was a fun time for all of us and a chance to meet some new friends.

On Saturday May 17th. Gary myself and Peirce meet at the Danbury Railroad Museum
This is the first time Gary meets Peirce and myself
Peirce is a volunteer guide at the museum
so these photos show just a little of what is there
Here is a minature scale of the museum area
we are actually in the building it shows there
One of the signs inside showing this locomotive
while outside - its the real thing
A luggage carrier of long gone days
and some horns and lights of the trains
This is the bell at the front door
Here's an old schedule
Gary and I on a train to no-where - just chugging along - woohoo !!
Now we head outside to the tracks
along the railroad crossing
Here's just one of the locomotives in the yard
this one seems a whole lot newer
the clouds and sky were beautiful
here's the sign for the following car
called the gondola car
this delivery truck also ran on the tracks
I found this cars' name interesting
and here's a red caboose
one of the passenger cars
Here's Gary with Peirce at a brake wheel
this is inside the caboose - wooden floors
some of the other cars in the yard
taking a peek at them down the track
interesting engine
this was the US Mail car
here's the inside of the mail car
looking at more of the engines
here's something ???
this was yet another engine
this is the sign painted on the outside
this is where the lights were changed from
levers moved the red and green lights on this tower
a very weathered wooden railcar
have to ask Peirce what this is....
the is a lever lock on one of the doors on the car
Gary on the second level of this caboose
inside of the caboose
these three sit outside waiting for renovations to be made
this is my favorite - I named it "Pudgy"
we go across the street to the diner for coffee
there were jukeboxes on each table
