These then young people were so brave. I hope that this did not negatively impact their lives. Nothing has been learned. They are arresting students at Columbia and across the US this week for protesting.

Only in service 16 years? And then scrapped? What a crime. Perhaps its operating costs were too high.

Thanks for a great overview. Very informative info.

Thank you for this.

Wish these were preserved.

I grew up in Norwalk , Ct on the New Haven to New York commuter rail portion of the New Haven RR. Did not know about this particular train nor that the railroad records are at UConn. Would love to visit!

Hi Laura, Thank you for this very well done look into the history or railroads.

Are there railroad tickets in the archives?

*Simply wonderful nostalgia. Having commuted from Darien To NYC during the late 80's and 90's I would have LOVED to have ridden such a comfortable train. OBTW The picture of the auto in Ridgefield, my home town, brings back some great memories as I enjoy my retirement in North Carolina! THANK YOU.*

The 'single' at the end may be the only railroad promotional song that was actually released as a popular record!

Reminiscent of the famous Brill Bullet Cars, which I rode as a young'an.

Excellent video! Love it! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻

Hi Laura, thank you for sharing this fascinating history on the New Havens Comet. I have read many books on the new haven, and I’ve never come across these photos. Its great to hear the New Haven collection is in safe hands at Uconn.

Yes but the L.N.E.R built a stream liner using the A4 Pacific designed by sir Nigel gresley from London kings cross to Edinburgh and the west riding limited fr ok m kings cross to Hull and a stream liner from kings cross to Newcastle central with a speed

TY - nice video and information.

🎊 *promosm*

Very enjoyable railway video, thank you from the UK.

Hello How can I get Sally Dick and Jane Helen M. Robinson , Marion Monroe , A. Sterl Artley (book pdf) for free please?

The Comet had station times at 30 seconds when passing towers.

Nice presentation and I love the streamlined look but describing it as "technology" I think is a stretch. For trains it was really just a styling fad. Covering a locomotive with sheet metal really just made it heavier and harder to service. Any small contribution in lower drag coefficient was not enough to have an effect on speed capability.

not understanding the choppy timings to the slides hereabouts anyhow 🍸 ua-cam.com/video/Agl5JJ-ypsI/v-deo.html 💋

Great video!

Interesting topic with an excellent presentation!

Interesting

Like train

Wonderful voice.

They couldn’t have got a better speaker?

Very interesting that thanks something new to me cheers

My Godmother and her husband both worked for the NEW Haven RR. Classy couple for sure.

Curious that this train was ordered from Goodyear-Zeppelin, a company otherwise making airships. Also curious that only one was ever built, with no series production planned. Normally you'd think of trains to be something produced, maintained and operated in series of similar units, not just one, which causes problems whenever it is in need of repair or maintenance. New Haven later tried out a number of different units. The "Roger Williams" (1956) was a modified six-car RDC with semi-streamlined noses (again just one set produced). The "Danl Webster" (1957) was a Pullman-Standard "Train X" with specially designed Baldwin locomotives. The "John Quincy Adams" was a variant of the Talgo II which had been produced in the 1950s by acf for Renfe (Spain). In the 1960s NH planned to operate the United Aircraft Turbotrain (but was merged into Penn Central before that train was completed).

One of the advantages for the New Haven was the train was making 5 round trips a day. For a steam railroad this was unprecedented. The increased productivity was a major financial incentive for a railroad in bankruptcy. Additionally having operating cabs at both ends meant not having to pay for switch crews at the end of the runs.

Thankyou they had a lot of intresting named trains as experiments, the tango based ones did not fair as well as the comet.

A most enjoyable story. Thank you from Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Thanks for this comprehensive look at one of the great streamlined train sets of the 1930's

Thank you for compiling and showcasing these documents!

Many thanks for this inspiration 💜 Creativity shouldn’t stop with becoming a parent, thats when life really opens up and we can gain deeper understanding about ourselves, and mysterious existence itself! This is stuff I’m exploring on my channel with a DIY reality show UV:TV- about being a musician and parent during Covid :) Thankyou

That is an accurate description of Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) , perhaps the worst president in American history. Unfortunately, an issue doesn’t disappear simply because it’s been ignored, censored, covered up and concealed for decades. Also, the legacy of deceit, abuse of power, and political corruption that continues to curse America today! Case in point: “American Experience, “LBJ: Beautiful Texas/My Fellow Americans. A profile of Lyndon B. Johnson.” This recently aired on KSYS Channel 8.1 Aug. 15 and 16, respectively. Consider the following the itemized links below: Barr McClellan’s 2003 book: “Blood, Money, and Power: How LBJ Killed JFK”. Also posted at UA-cam. J. Evett Haley’s 1964 book: “A Texan Looks At Lyndon: A Study In Illegitimate Power.” “How Persecution of American Christians Really Began in The US!” via the Constitution Party of Oregon (www.constitutionpartyoregon.net) posted under “Liberty In The News.” Trump to Pastors: ‘Christians Have Been Silenced Like a Child” via Pat Robertson’s 700 club confronts the 1954 Johnson Amendment which remains blatant censorship. “Lyndon Johnson Murdered John F. Kennedy” at UA-cam. The oppressive 1968 Gun Control Act LBJ signed into federal legislation and its Nazi/ racist roots long since exposed by JPFO, Inc. at www.jpfo.org. Finally, the Vietnam War (1961-1975). How LBJ and then Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara greatly escalated this “no win war” in Southeast Asia. And at a cost of 58,000 American lives. Lyndon B. Johnson likewise paved the way for Carter, Clinton, and Obama.And while Richard M. Nixon was no saint, he wasn’t even in the ballpark with Lyndon when it came to the above political atrocities, abuses, and crimes against the American people. James A. Farmer , Ashland Now a resident of Merrill, Oregon (Klamath County) These career criminal politicians from our nation's shameful past continue to be whitewashed via our government controlled socialist public schools, colleges, universities, and academia who walk in lock step with the establishment news media. They collectively continue to cover up, censor, conceal, and hide the truth from the American public! Too, these political elitists can rightly be described in five words: deceitful, crooked, immoral, treasonous, and socialist! Our nation 50 plus years later continues to pay for the treasonous high crimes, political and judicial abuses (both the Earl Warren and Warren Burger Supreme Courts come to mind here) etc. My generation especially suffered from their deceit! I was born in Klamath Falls ,Oregon in November 1956. Am I angry? Yes....and rightly so! And no, I don't apologize to anyone for posting this, much less my letter above!
