New York Central RS3s - 1963

[Roger Hensley]

Audio Visual Designs was started in NY state in 1964 producing train recordings and photochrome postcards. The postcard photography, taken by such well-known photographers such as David Sweetland, show stunning trackside action in bright color. This first view shows us a pair of NY Central RS3s in North White Plains, NY in Weshechester County. Taken in 1963 by Mac Owen, this photo makes any diesel loco look just great in lightning stripes!

I thought it was Brewster that had the roundhouse?

North White Plains yard had the turntable,all Put Jct(Brewster) had was the wye,most trains that terminated at Brewster went up the wye and
did a reverse move into the yard off the wye.
If there was a turntable /roundhouse at Put Jct,they were torn out when the diesels took over.

The roundhouse and turntable at Putnam Jct were intact and used well into the 1960s, possibly later.

My late father had a pile of these Audio-Visual Designs postcards... still trying to figure out what to do with them.
