These photos show the Stepney Depot in Monroe, Connecticut, about ten miles north of Bridgeport and built in 1850 according to the sign. The Housatonic Railroad was chartered in 1836, connected Bridgeport and Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1850, and was leased by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1892. Most of the Housatonic trackage became the New Haven Railroad’s Berkshire Division. Looking at the terrain near the station, I cannot tell where the track approached and departed the station. Driving through the area near the station, it still looks like it’s 1850. Photos by MELGAR.
