September and the Summer of 2002 had been a dry one in Southern New England. Places along the Connecticut River that hadn't been above water in years were plentiful, including the vicinity of Amtrak's Springfield-New Haven line. On the back of AMT #460, Connecticut Southern's CSO-1 was northbound for West Springfield, MA with its manifest from Cedar Hill in New Haven, CT. Two weeks later, nearly seven inches of rain took care of this spot!
