I’m interested in knowing more about the history of the airline route in Portland, CT (New Haven RR). Based on aerial imagery from 1934, It appears there was a spur that departed the main line east of the Connecticut River Swingbridge, heading geographically north and west back towards the river and serviced the oil tank farm and also perhaps the Brownstone quarries. Does anyone know how long service on that spur lasted? It seems by 1951 the tracks may have already been removed, (again based on aerial imagery).
