Electrification advances on the New Haven line
The New Haven railroad progresses toward full electrification with a new Westinghouse electric freight locomotive. In tests the engine pulled 37 freight cars from New Rochelle to Stamford at ~40 mph, hitting 49 mph briefly. Officials plan passenger electrification to New Haven and aim for entire New York to Boston coverage, ending steam on lines west of New Haven.
