Nyc electrics on the move

Sad to see them in that kind of shape, hopefully they can move them and at least cosmetically restore them. I love those NYC electrics, once I get my layout up and running and am past the cost phase of that, will try and get some models of them.

And if it is at the Danbury rail museum, gives me another excuse to go to that part of Connecticut, just up the road in Southbury (well, okay, about a half hour) there is a drive in kind of restaurant called Denmo's that has great summer food and ice cream (their fried wholebelly clams are a tribute to clam shacks everywhere). 

Let's hope nothing goes wrong with the move...

Amazing that they are still relatively in one piece so to speak. Hopefully the move goes well and they can be restored for display.

Thanks for sharing John.

Worth the trip for the clams...trains and summer food.....can't miss

I live about 15 minutes from where they are. Sadly, us local railfans have waited for this moment for 15-20 years.

A lot more information can be found here, if so interested: Railroad.net thread
