            New Haven Railroad west bound, and most likely a named passenger train, led by DER-3a class ALCO PA-1 locomotive 0784 and another, is seen entering the station platform area with their train at Providence, Rhode Island, ca late 1950's.  This train has no head-end cars in its consist.  The first four cars on this train are lightweight parlor cars followed by what appears to be a dining car and perhaps then some coaches.  This stations platform area is on a curve. One of the PA-1 locomotives is wearing the conventional green and yellow paint scheme, while the other PA-1 is wearing the new McGinnis paint scheme.  This scene was perhaps taken in the late afternoon or in the early evening with the western sun lighting the scene.
