Mile 48: Baltic, Connecticut
The
Tyler City Station
site has good maps that show the location of the former station as
being on the northwest corner of Rte 97 and Wall St. It is an
interesting site to visit because parts of the old station foundation
are clearly visible in the embankment.

Part of a spare rail holder.
This is one of three I know of along the HP&F; there's one holding
rails, with a sign explaining it, in Vernon.
We found another in Columbia just west of
Willimantic. My father, Bernard
Dowd, who found the one here after I overlooked it, remembers that
these were common around the New Haven system (12/2023.) |
