Canaan Railroad Days

Housatonic contributed several locomotives and a caboose to the displays at Canaan Railroad Days, held today at Canaan, CT Union Station. All HRRC locomotives were resplendent in their livery, a welcome change after several years of leased units. On the SE leg of the wye sits the FL-9 and the Roger Williams trainset, brought down from Lenox for the event.

There seems to be some good cooperation between Housatonic and the Berkshire Scenic after some tensions a few years ago. Perhaps one day we'll see passenger excursions return to the Berkshire Line. The Mass. rebuild is getting closer to completion.

NICE! Haven't been down there in many years, looks like the station is back together?

The station is fully restored/rebuilt. The main tenant, Great Falls Brewing, has closed. The CT RR Museum is still in there as is an Accordian store/museum. Hopefully they can find another tenant to go in.
