... that due to a typographical error, the Housatonic Railroad was accidentally chartered as the "Ousatonic Railroad"? Source: The First Twenty Years of Railroads in Connecticut, by Sidney Withington, page 19: "The Housatonic Railroad was chartered in 1836. The original charter, apparently through an error in typography, was designated in the printed reports as "Ousatonic" although on the engrossed bill on file with the secretary of state, the name is correctly recorded as "Housatonic.""
ALT1: ... that more than 90 years after the first Housatonic Railroad ceased operations, a new Housatonic Railroad was formed and operates the same lines today? Source: The Rail Lines of Southern New England (2nd edition), by Ronald Dale Karr, pages 55, 58-59. Too much text to quote here without copyvio issues, but the gist of it is the original Housatonic ended operations in 1892, and the new company has operated from 1984 to present, initially over one segment but after two purchases in the 1990s over all the surviving original Housatonic Railroad lines.
ALT2: ... that the Housatonic Railroad used to send 100,000 US quarts (95,000 L) of milk to New York City per day? Source: The Rail Lines of Southern New England (2nd edition), by Ronald Dale Karr, page 58: "By the late 1860s, however, the railroad was shipping 100,000 quarts of milk a day to New York City, and the line was moderately profitable."
@Trainsandotherthings: 
Good article. Though, the link for the bolded article in alt1 is incorrect. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:48, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
