Crazy that you can still see an FL9 and a budd M3 together in 2026.

New Haven 2006 is one of 60 units ordered by Patrick McGinnis, then President of the New Haven Railroad. These are among the most famous locomotives the New Haven owned. They are dual powered, meaning they had the capability of operating under diesel-electric or straight electric, all FL9s were originally equipped with pneumatically actuated third rail shoes. EMD had to extend the car body of their FP9 five feet to accommodate the extra electrical equipment and a larger steam generator. As a result the three axle rear trucks were necessary as to better spread the weight of the heavier locomotive, the ‘L’ in FL9 stands for lengthened. FL9’s were in active commuter service as recently as 2008.

2006 was in the first batch of 30 locomotives ordered by the New Haven Railroad, as built it had a 16 cylinder, 1750 horsepower GM model 567C prime mover. The first 30 units were also equipped with a small pantograph for picking up electricity from the overhead third rail in Grand Central Terminal, this was later removed in the 1960’s. At the end of its active life 2006 suffered a major fire, which destroyed some critical wiring rendering it inoperable.
