The branch between Collinsville and New Hartford wasn't part of the CNE. The CNE main line did run through Collinsville and New Hartford towards the west, but New Hartford industry was served by the New Haven branch. If this is confusing in 2012 think what it was like in 1912. When I lived in Collinsville thirty years ago both rows made interesting walks, although overgrown then.
Bad wording on my part, but I was trying to mention Collinsville-New Hartford in addition to the CNE for most futile lines, not part of the CNE.
