The Trolley Line Crossing
The following photos are courtesy of Nick Zabawar and taken
circa 1994.
They show of a trolley line that crossed over the Canal Line in Cheshire.
This is an aerial photo of the area of the trolley line. It
is about a quarter mile north of the West Main Street crossing in Cheshire.
The line went East to Maple Avenue and then I believe curved south and followed
Route 10 to New Haven. The line also went West to Waterbury. In the area of
the Notch Store and Quarry Village, the trolley line split. One leg went to
Waterbury, and I thnk the other went up to Prospect. Part of the ROW can be
seen off of Rt. 10 near Quarry Village and along Mountain Road up along the
ridge.
The supports that carried the trolley line over the Canal Line:
