5: New Haven 0306 passes under a catenary breaker at S.S.55 tower.
Richard Abramson scratchbuilt the catenry anchor based on
the prototype that is still in service on the Metro-North in
Bridgeport, Ct. The NH built these gantry-llike structures where
the overhead wire was divided into different circuts.
The locomotive is a New Haven class EP-2 electric built by
Railworks. The prototypes were built by Baldwin-Westinghouse
between 1917 and 1927.

6: McCook's Landing – Union soldiers were aghast at the new
Confederate weapon.
One private was heard to say "They move faster than our lead
balls, we ain't never going to hit 'em."
The photo was taken by Bernard Kempinski on his U.S. Military
Railroads layout and recently displayed at the the NMRA con-
vention in Atlanta, GA where the layout was operated by many
visitors.
