Talk:New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad

message: 2nd para,last sentence 
:It opened in 1848, using trackage rights over the New York and Harlem Railroad (later part of the New York Central Railroad system) from Williamsbridge south to Grand Central Terminal, which served as the New Haven's New York City terminal.
Shouldn't it be Woodlawn instead of Williams Bridge? That's where the lines connect now. Keotaman 11:59, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Full list of lines

message: One of the "hundreds" of smaller railways bought up and merged into the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad was apparently the Torrington and Winsted Street Railway (currently a redlink).  James Alldis served as its president from 1899 to 1906, when it was sold to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, per the following document:National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: James Alldis House.  I don't see this railroad or the cities of Torrington, Connecticut or Winsted, Connecticut mentioned in the current article.  Not saying this railroad is more important than other railroads merged in, but if there was an expansion of the current article to cover more, this could be mentioned. --doncram (talk) 21:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, seems to be mentioned within Connecticut Company article, tho with an apparent typo that i fixed. --doncram (talk) 21:25, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I've read somewhere recently, that the NH moved from Woodlawn (NYC station) to Fordham (NYC station) because of the closer proximity to Football games between Yale and Fordham University. Any info on the exact year for this? -------User:DanTD (talk)  23:14, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: , thanks for fixing "Worchester". My mistake in thinking you were simply removing the map; perhaps next time you might announce your intentions in the edit summary? In any case, that's not the typo I thought you were deleting the map for. Perhaps you could also change "fright" to "freight" in the legend? PRRfan (talk) 19:53, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Funny, I was just adding a note here to what I had found - and apologies for not making my intention clearer. Upon closer examination, many spelling errors are present on this map - I counted 8 city/town misspellings alone. Unfortunately, I do not have the ability to fix every problem on this map (my graphics editing skills are limited), but I would appreciate help if anyone has the ability to fix them. If not I'll give it a go in the next couple of days:
*"Yahmouth" - should be Yarmouth
*"Woodsocket" - should be Woonsocket
*"Northamton" - should be Northampton
*"Campell Hall" - should be Campbell Hall
*"Saybrock" - should be Saybrook
*"Middletwon" - should be Middletown
*"Worchester" - should be Worcester
*"Fright" - should be "freight", in legend (thanks to PRRfan for noticing this one)

replies: text:  Appreciate the quick reaction and help - also, thanks for creating the map, much appreciated. I did notice the version appears to be the same as before, but maybe it's just an upload problem? - This was cleared up with this response. Thanks again!

thread_title:  System map typos 

message: First off, props to whoever made the map, it's great. But I have noticed some issues. (Assuming the map takes place in 1929 as it states)
*The Danbury Branch was electrified in 1925, so it should be shown here.
*The Ridgefield Branch was reduced to freight-only service following the 1925 electrification of the Danbury Branch, so that should be shown too.
