Well it is almost that time when the great road salt pile in the north end of Hartford should be starting to build up! Any one know if this will happen this year or not. Last year the siding was not completed in time but now it looks like everything is in place, lets hope so.

Looks like Automated Materials in Berlin had their switch reconnected. This time connecting off the old Emhart siding which is now used by CWPM (as opposed to a switch directly on the Springfield line). Its been a few years since Automated used rail service out of Berlin. "
The ride to New Haven and back was really interesting, in that there are many old & abandoned sidings. We used to make so much more in Connecticut. Very sad for what little remains today.
