Eastern Railroad Discussion > Housatonic RR's MP 75 is near where?Date: 02/15/18 14:46 Housatonic RR's MP 75 is near where? Author: Pattenburg Got this photograph that was taken back in July 2001 from a friend who asked me to identify its location. Near what town would the Housatonic RR's MP 75 be near?

Author: ABB Sorry to say that this is not Lee as mp 75 on the Housatonic is on single track just south of town. This picture shows the double track near the Fairgrounds at mp 75 near the end of the passing track west of Danbury.

Was the Fairgrounds mile marker based on the Danbury to Pittsfield route, or Maybrook to Hartford miles? Posted from Android Edited to add, the MP 75 was based on the Maybrook to Hartford route.

Author: ABB The mileposts on the Maybrook Branch start with 0 at Campbell Hall (connection with Southern Tier) and end at 104.8 (Derby Jct.).
