From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Naugatuck Railroad

 


This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features a photo of the original Naugatuck Railroad before it merged with the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroads in 1906. 
The original Naugatuck Railroad was chartered in 1845, and spanned between Bridgeport and Winsted. Construction began in 1848 and the first train ran in June of 1849. This image shows the railroad behind the Hallock family home. After the 1955 Flood in Connecticut, the railroad was relocated and ran between Thomaston and East Litchfield.
