Album Info:Providence & Worcester local CT-1 works the area around New Haven, Connecticut. Typical assignments for this job involve working the Belle Dock Industrial Track, with the main customer being Gateway Terminal, as well as Conrail's former "Middletown Cluster," which includes the Middletown Branch, Berlin Branch, Portland Running Track, and the Valley Line. The vast majority of the traffic on the Middetown Branch is generated by the sprawling Tilcon Connecticut quarry on the Wallingford/Durham town line.

Changed Forever
Title:  Changed Forever
Description:  The view at the East Center Street crossing has been changed forever with the demolition of the building which had sat on the north side of the road. The building was formerly owned by Peter Frescina Building Contractors. Before that, it was likely a owned by a grain distributor. The first section of today's CT-1 eases downgrade past the demolition site with CEFX 3173 and 3164 in charge of 39 loads of stone on the first full day of fall.

CT-1
Title:  CT-1
Description:  CT-1 eases across the Connecticut River swing bridge with 5 loads from Red Technologies. The ancient bridge sat largely unused for the last four and a half years after the last customer in Portland, Murphy Road Recycling, had their building collapse under the weight of ice and snow in early 2011. This new traffic source is a welcome addition to the "Middletown Cluster."
