From 1844 to 1967, the New Haven RR (officially, the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad" was a force in New England. At various points in time, the New Haven Railroad owned trolley companies, truck companies, bus companies, and steamship companies and once tried to start an airline. The New Haven was one of the few railroads in America to operate steam, diesel, and electric locomotives at the same time. For example: Maybrook Yard - The Central New England Railway (CNE) was a railroad across northern Connecticut and west across the Hudson River in New York. The major freight yard where the CNE connected with other railroads was at Maybrook. It eventually became part of the Poughkeepsie Bridge Route and later a line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. | |
