Connecticut Company trolley bridge remains

Farmington Canal: New Haven, Hamden & Cheshire

Concrete trolley-bridge remains near the Farmington Canal trail. Bridge remains once carried the Connecticut Company's Cheshire–Waterbury trolley line above the Canal Line.

Evidence, credit & reuse: Evidence of the later rail and trolley landscape, not a canal-era structure. Do not call these canal-era masonry or rail-line abutments; catalog says Connecticut Company trolley. Display copy optimized for the web with proportional resizing and compression.
