The New Haven Railroad has always been very important to me in my childhood of the late 50’s and early 60’s. I’m from central Connecticut and our house was by the Hartford Branch main line. We had a siding go through our back yard that serviced a factory several miles away with coal. I still remember the NH switcher pushing several coal cars past our house. They would always sound there horn when they rode by because the engineer knew my brothers and I enjoyed it.
