I came here all the time as a kid and still do today! Very cool place and very interesting

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

amazing I gotta check it out

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

just figured you and Ben were in upstate, I gotta check that place out

[@RailRide]

That sounded like Thurston at the controls.

[@FanRailer]

Yup, it is.

[@metrabnsfrails3641]

That kind of trolley looks similar as the platte valley trolley

[@walterfink9782]

Nice ride. Engineer was a little testy.

Branford may be more scenic and faster, but we sure don't have public grade crossings! This also seems longer.

[@FanRailer]

Length of track is actually the same.

[@LIRR175]

What is that station at 5:27? From Google Earth it looks like the only access would be via trespassing on airport property.

[@FanRailer]

pumpkin patch. it is only legally accessible by taking the trolley, and it is used for the obvious holiday events lol

buen video

[@mistertoy1]

Thats not a ConnCo, it's Fair Haven and Westville RR

[@FanRailer]

Literally in the car description on CTTM's website: " On February 26, 1910 the New Haven Railroad sublet all its street railroad properties to a new company, The Connecticut Company."

[@mistertoy1]

look on the side of the car in any pic of it

[@mistertoy1]

it says "Fairhaven and Westville"

[@mistertoy1]

and the collection page also lists it as FH&W

[@FanRailer]

The car still spent the latter part of its service life as a ConnCo car. So you're not wrong, but neither am I.
