After the New Haven
Description:
After the New York, New Haven & Hartford was merged into Penn Central and its successor went bankrupt, a Government-funded organization known as Conrail, the Consolidated Rail Corporation, took control of the Berkshire Line, while passenger service on the line ended under the control of Penn Central, Conrail operated many of local freight trains over the line with switcher or road switcher locomotives, this EMD SW9, built for the PRR and later owned by Conrail, may have very well once seen itself powering a local along the Housatonic River on the Berkshire Line at some point in its past.

A Meet on the Berkshire Line
Description:
While NYNH&H ALCo RS-3 #562 holds the siding at Lenox awaiting its turn to enter the station, NYNH&H GE 50 Tonner #67 boards passengers at the 1902-built station.

The NYNH&Hs Berkshire Line, which many similar locomotives once operated on, is now owned by the Housatonic Railroad and is traversed almost daily by newer, though not by much, EMD GP35 diesel electric locomotives.

CSRR Train 163 at Bartlett
Description:
Conway Scenic Railroad Notch Train 163 pulls past the Bartlett Depot and up to Bear Notch Road. Normally, Train 163 makes a station stop here to allow the passengers to stretch their legs, but with the poor weather on this day, Train 163 merely slowed to give the passengers a view of the town. In a few miles, it will enter the Crawford Notch State Park and begin the steep climb to the Notch.
