    Seems obvious the D&H was on it's way out. The door logo is not as easy to read as the CP info on that box.

    Even though the D&H logo looks a bit faded, from everything I have seen the logo was never was that easy to see.

    Here is a HO Model of a Pickup with that same color scheme and D&H logo

    That house the in background sure reminds me of a section foreman's dwelling.

    I'm not aware of it being RR related but it is just on the other side of the parking lot of the station...

    If you have never gone to this place it's well worth the trip and as you can see from this postcard view, it's a large facility...

    I went there years ago, and by years ago, I mean when it was in Bellows Falls VT. Ironically, I lived only 90 minutes from its current location when I was training for my current job in New Jersey. Amazing how a schedule can get so filled up in a little over a year.

    How are they doing these days? Have not heard much about them in recent years. Is their funding good, etc?

    Better than not ever getting there to see the place....

    My thoughts as well, take all photos you can as one never knows if you will get that chance again...

    Some day I've got to get over to see the "New" Steamtown in Scranton. I visited much of the collection when it was up in Bellows Falls, Vermont back in the early 60s.
