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. 3760 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 4 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.
