NH 2525
Title:  NH 2525
Description:  During the late '80's and early '90's, the Connecticut Valley Railroad Museum was actively seeking a new home. After a "false start" in Willimantic, CT., the museum turned to the city of Danbury, CT. In concert with the city and Metro-North, the museum held a two day "Railroad Days" event at Danbury, which featured the museum's New Haven RR U25-B 2525. The U-Boat handled a fan trip from Danbury to Waterbury on Saturday, Oct.10, 1992. The train is seen there with riders and other fans milling about in this photo.

NH 2525
Title:  NH 2525
Description:  The plan to move to Danbury would fall through for the same reason it did at Willimantic, no place to run their own trains. Ironically, within 4 years , the museum WOULD find a new home, right here in Waterbury. Today's Naugatuck RR, operated by the re-named Railroad Museum of New England, begins less than a half mile north of Waterbury station.

NH 2525
Title:  NH 2525
Description:  Although experiencing a "slight glitch", which was cleared up by museum members, the 2525 hauled the train in both directions between Danbury and Waterbury and would "romp" on the Harlem Div. the next day at 60+.
