Dan'l Webster (train)

[2] The Dan'l Webster was powered by two Baldwin RP-210 diesel-hydraulic locomotives connected by multiple unit control through the train.

Under Patrick McGinnis, the New Haven ordered three experimental high-speed trainsets in 1955: the Dan'l Webster, the John Quincy Adams, and the Roger Williams.

All had interiors and exterior styling designed by architect Marcel Breuer as part of the new visual identity created by Knoll Associates.

The New Haven blamed the fixed consist lengths – which could not be adjusted to meet demand – and difficulty maintaining the unique trainsets.

[11] The trainset sat in Cedar Hill Yard until August 1964, when it was sold to Jones Tours (owned by the Pickens Railway).
