why would an accident in Darien close the New Canaan branch? isn't darien past stamford (where the new canaan line veers north off of the new haven line?)
The tracks cross Darien's side of Camp Avenue about a quarter mile after the Stamford/Darien town line. I'm pretty sure there are only two crossings in Darien, one where the accident occured and the other right behind the florist. I have heard stories from my parents about two trains colliding there, or some kind of serious accident many years ago, anyone have more info about this?
