(rshsdepot) Possible Fan Trip 11

Here is your chance to ride on CNE rails.

The CNERR will be running excursions on July 9 and 18 for the 

MBRRE and the NMRA.   The equipment will be available during 

that time for a possible additional trip on Saturday July 11.   

The trip would start from Hartford Union Station and pass through

Blue Hills, Cottage Grove and Bloomfield to Griffins and return.

The fare would be $35. 

If you would be interested in this trip, send a note to 

BRudberg_@_optonline.net 

If there is enough response, we will set up a trip.

Below is a description of the planned trips.

************************************************************************

Ride on the rails of the Central New England Railroad's

Griffins Industrial Track from Hartford, Connecticut to Griffins. This 8.7-mile line

is one of the few surviving parts of the Central New England Railway that ran from

Hartford and Springfield across northern Connecticut through Canaan, CT to

Maybrook, New York, crossing the Hudson River on the famed Poughkeepsie

Bridge. Acquired by the current Central New England Railroad in 1999, the line

now serves a Home Depot distribution center in Griffins. 

 Subject to safety and operating considerations, we expect to make

at least one photo stop during each trip departing from Hartford CT at 10:00 AM

Our train will consist of cars leased from the Morristown & Erie Railroad,

including a table car and a coach.  

There will be no food or beverage service aboard these trains.

Passengers may bring their own food on board if they wish.
