Here are a group of New Haven Railroad artifacts that have nothing in common other than the fact that each is unusual and rarely encountered. All items from the collection of Marc Frattasio.
![]() | This advertisement, "The Clearest Road Into New York" dates from the late 1950s. Note that the locomotive depicted in this advertisement is an EMD F unit with a pantograph on its roof. For some reason Doyle Dane Bernbach, the agency that put this advertisement together, used an HO scale EMD F-7 or F-9 to stand in for an EP-5 electric locomotive. |
| The New Haven distributed posters, such as the one shown here, to stations every time there was a change made to a train's schedule. This example alerted passengers that a specific train that normally left Boston's South Station at 9.05 am for Braintree, MA would not be operated on Tuesday May 30th 1939. | ![]() |
![]() | This poster was displayed in New Haven stations during early 1941 to inform passengers that trains would continue to operate on Eastern Standard Time after the clocks had been changed to Daylight Savings Time on April 27th. |
| This poster was displayed in stations during 1940 to tell passengers that six New Haven Railroad employees would be featured on a popular radio contest show called "Double or Nothing". The show was simultaneously broadcast over several radio stations covering nearly all of southern New England. | ![]() |
