Talk:Housatonic Railroad

message: I don't have the ability to crop pictures, or I would have cropped the postcard picture of the Newtown tunnel. Perhaps at some point in the future someone else can. Having the picture seems better than not having it. Noroton 16:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I had heard before that Metro-North Railroad owns the former New Haven trackage from MNRR's Hudson line (ex NY Central at Beacon), to the NY State line (or maybe the Harlem line), and it was only the part east of there that's the Housatonic.  The Metro-North Railroad page claims this "Beacon Line" as its own.  While I know MNRR has at least trackage rights, the exact ownership of this needs to be clarified between these two pages.

replies: text: The article at Beacon Line mentions ownership by Metro North.  Ownership in Connecitcut seems to be more confused based on articles on Wikipedia.  Some lines may be owned by ConnDOT with operation by Metro-North but some articles assert owner ship by Metro-North.  67.86.73.252 (talk) 03:40, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that a surprisingly large number of stations belonging to the Housatonic are still standing or are readily locatable in aerial photographs. Hence, I'd like to assemble a table listing them here on the talk page before placing it into the article. 67.84.27.8 (talk) 03:52, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not going to lie. Your station list is very nice and organized, but it's far too elaborate and detailed for most station lists in railroad articles. Some more suitable examples can be found in the Newburg, Dutchess and Connecticut Railroad, Central New England Railway, New York and New England Railroad and other former New Haven predecessors. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  18:33, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: It seems pretty clear to me that we need two articles to effectively cover both the OG Housatonic Railroad and the present incarnation. Unlike the Providence and Worcester Railroad, which has a continuous corporate existence from the 1800s to today, the two Housatonic Railroads are unrelated, other than sharing a similar route, and right now I don't think the present article does justice to either one. Unless anyone has an objection, I plan to split this article, leaving the present title as a set index article distinguishing between the two.

replies: text: As there have been no objections, I will action this today or tomorrow. That being said, I suspect the primary topic would be the current company, so I will make a new article for the original company and potentially move some of what's at this article there.
