Daylight Under The Wires
On May 11th, 2016, P&W NR-4 arrives at Old Saybrook to interchange with P&W CT-1 from New Haven. The night before, NR-2 outlawed at Groton after Amtrak wouldn’t take them to New Haven so a daylight move the next morning was facilitated. From 1992 until 2009, NR-2 and NH-1 regularly met at Old Saybrook to interchange traffic. The closing of many customers west of Old Saybrook during and after the Great Recession, which included Stanley Bostich, Atlantic Wire, and Chesebrough Ponds, and overall traffic slowdown led to NH-1 being abolished and NR-2 making the run from Plainfield to New Haven and return, moving from days to nights in 2013. In 2015, NH-1 was reinstated as a regular job and split duties between the Shore Line, Belle Dock, MNR Waterbury Branch, and the Middletown Branch.
