The train includes New Haven Dairy refrigerated milk car GICX300 and New Haven caboose C-665. I’ve searched for years without success for information about the milk car and dairy. I was contacted last week by forum member @Farmall-Joe who informed me of the dairy’s location on Hazel Street in New Haven on the “Canal Line” of the New Haven Railroad, so I visited the site this week. Although the dairy has been gone for a long time, a few rails still remain there on the roadbed of the Canal Line which originated as the Farmington Canal in 1822 and was later filled-in to become the New Haven & Northampton Railroad before being absorbed by the NYNH&HRR. Milk was delivered to the dairy from Amston, Connecticut via the New Haven’s Canal Line and Air-Line. On my layout, the milk car is hauled by #3400.

Mel, that is so cool you took the time to visit that site. Thanks for sharing a quick history and pictures.
