Photo of Very old rail in Meriden Ct.
Very old rail in Meriden Ct.

Old rail that the New Haven used on the Waterbury, Meriden & Cromwell Railroad branch. I think this is 60lb. rail. It looks like it may have been ordered for the Hartford & New Haven RR before it merged with the NY&NH RR to form the NYNH&H RR. This line hasn't been used in forty years, but not abandoned. A local quarry has the rights to it.
