History of major train wrecks on the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railway from 1911-1966. This is a CD-Rom in Adobe pdf format with 65 different original government files with hundreds of pages detailing the wrecks with wreck diagrams. I have found a handful of pictures in the files. The historic stories behind the wrecks are told, covering steam trains as well as diesel and electric. Locations include:
Connecticut - Bridgeport, Fairfield, Green's Farm, Putman, Stonington, Westport, North Haven, New Haven, Stamford, Beacon Falls, Milford, Waterbury, Pomfret, Montowese, Port Chester, Yalesville, Cornwall Bridge, Glenbrook, Hartford, Thomaston, South Norwalk, Newington, Kent, Springfield, Darien, Springdale, Devon. Massachusetts - Braintree, Atlantic, Westfield, Weir Jct, Chatham, Norwood Jct, Medfield Jct, Readville, Worchester, Mansfield, Hillside, Fall River, Taunton, Saundersville, South Bay, Standish, Back Bay, Boston, Attleboro.

A great collection for history and railroad buffs!
