Being from New England, I never heard of the New England Railroad. There was the Central New England, but that became part of the New Haven before the GG1 was built. I know GG1's did run into New Haven for awhile under AMTRAK, and GG1's have taken New Haven pasenger trains into Washington D.C.(Famous story of a GG1, hauling a New Haven train to Washington D.C. for a presidential inaugaration, losing its brakes and crashing into the concourse, where it fell though the floor. They rebuilt the floor over the top just in time, then remoeved it later after the inaugaration.)
What he probably heard was, a New Haven train being hauled by a Pennsy GG1. With the different electrical voltages between the Pennsy and New Haven, it might have been a steam/generator car used to power and heat the New Haven varnish.
Just a guess.
