It appears that the last southwest Connecticut-Hartford line was via Cheshire, Milldale, and New Britain. New Haven-Cheshire-Milldale survived to 1936, and New Britain-Hartford to 1937. Plainville-New Britain was gone by 1936, but I don't have a lower bound, or details for Milldale-Plainville. --NE2 22:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Did it enter Massachusetts?
[edit]I can't figure out if the company operated from Thompson north to Webster, Massachusetts, or if that was a different company. North of Webster was the Worcester and Webster Street Railway, and the Webster and Dudley Street Railway also operated in the Webster area. [14] does not show the line, which used School Street south from downtown Webster.[15] --NE2 08:25, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
