So that's why the parking lot looked empty.

Let's be glad we don't have to climb that scaffolding against the tower!  Nice shots.

original owner: New York, New Haven & Hartford

IIRC a president or a vice president of the NH was visiting Italy and was inspired by  the Renaissance towers he saw in Italian towns.
Only this New Haven station got the treatment.  The tower is a landmark for miles as Waterbury is in a valley.

The last I heard, the local newspaper is the owner, occupant and proud custodian of this landmark

Agree!  Not a bad looking engine, and the headlight is in the right place too!

I was actually on that train that day!. Our conductor, Mr. Paul reffered to the small 2 car consist as a "micro-bomb" (Bombardier). The usual 3 car consist is known as a "mini-bomb"
Too bad I didn't know you were there.
