The correct link for additional information is http://as0.mta.info/mnr/excursion_tickets/...298&multi_id=47
Also the above ad was obviously copied from that of a previous trip. The Housatonic RR is essentially a continuation of the Waterbury Branch, whereas the Danbury Branch runs into the old Maybrook Line. So the heading above is wrong. -------------------- Kevin Korell OTOL Board Leader Howell, NJ |
