Here is yet another of my questions about predecessor companies. Am looking for a date for the Newburgh, Dutchess & Connecticut RR being merged. I believe into the Central New England RY. The latter was merged into the New Haven in 1927. Anyone have some info? Boxcab E50

*Sigh*. Memories. We have seen a number of members passing on. Sure miss Johnny Trains, and many others.
