Hi Mel, I will get to work tomorrow taking some pics of my layout. The area around the new Meriden Station used to be full of factories back in the 50-60s. International Silver Company had several large plants just northeast of the station which were torn down in the mid 60's. That whole area changed so much since I was growing up there. I have pleasant memories of both passenger and fright traffic going through the area. The railroad kept an RS-3 in the Colony Street yard to handle local switching. As a railroad fan, there was much to look at. Bill
