EAST WINDSOR, Conn. — After 30 years of operation on 14 miles of state-owned former New Haven Railroad track, Central New England Railroad operated its last train on the final day of 2025, as Genesee & Wyoming’s Connecticut Southern prepared to take over the line on Jan. 1, 2026. GP9 No. moved a single empty covered hopper 4 miles from the railroad’s yard at Scantic, Conn., to the interchange with the Connecticut Southern in East Windsor. Only these four miles are currently in service, although rails are still in place north to the Massachusetts state line. The railroad also once operated on 8 miles of track northwest of Hartford, dormant since its only customer relocated in 2021.
