Passenger service on Pittsfield, MA-Danbury, CT Route - Trains Magazine

I rode the line from Lenox or Lee, the first stop south of Pittsfield, to GCT in July 1962.   Very scenic line.  No hassle standing on the vestibule platform of the rear car, the parlor car, bu the conductor did sell me an upgrade for the parlor seat.   An FL-9, baggage car, to 8200-series American Flyers, and a post-war parlor at the rear.   Sunday evening, train about half full going into Danbury, and almost every coach seat taken going into Bridgeport.  No enchine change, with the FL-9 going into GCT.   Alger Hiss of Richard Nixon Whitticker Chambers fame was a fellow Parlor car passenger.   He also wished to ride the rear platform when he saw me doing it.   I do not know how long he had been out of jail and did not ask.
