I have to get used to this place. The pop-ups are driving me nuts. (Google Chrome?)

I have been away for a long time but mind a general question ?

New York and New England Railroad. Naturally this all became the 'New Haven'.

Does anybody know of any books published or articles published anywhere ? I'd guess that is a dumb question as all became the New Haven and various sections of such.

Everybody must have had their line of interest at times and of recent I have become more interested in this line. Seems too little info out there. Waterbury,Ct. to Hawleyville for example the east section was abandoned in the 30's but west/east to Southbury not till late 40's. What was active on the line then ? Of coarse this includes the crazy Waterbuty to Meriden/Cromwell. If it went under I-84 who used it up to abandoned section ?

That Waterbury 'trestle' still sits there but can't for long as all else around is being torn down.

The remaining stub Waterbury to Hawleyville is a real oddity disaster. Very overgrown now in Waterbury but still industry around it. (tracks still there)

Railroad history. Many must notice often very little known of past customers. Photo's ? RARE.

I posted similar in old New Haven Railroad Forum but not sure which forum is still active as to subject.

Isn't the New York & New England east of Waterbury the railroad PAS uses? I thought the Waterbury to Meriden to Middletown/Cromwell was the WM&CR...
