Closure[edit]

According to this reference the railway was closed in 1976. Do you have any other references? --NearEMPTiness (talk) 16:27, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if you're still looking for information, but I couldn't find anything at the time. I wish I could help further with that. Not exactly sure why the track's still there. Let me look into that. I might edit that part a little more. Mandoli (talk) 21:46, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Found information on the trailhead, but no real information on why the track's still there. Mandoli (talk) 22:01, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Depot Square[edit]

I am going to edit when I get home, but I'm actually noticing that the tracks are no longer at Depot Square as of mid 2022. Nature has started to consume what it can, but the track part crossing Main Street is now paved. Mandoli (talk) 14:14, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in my edit summary just now, this is not about the South Manchester Railroad at all. This is part of what was the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad main line, most recently operated by the Connecticut Southern Railroad. It connected to, but was never part of, the South Manchester Railroad. And part of what you added was original research, anyhow. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:10, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This has been on my list to clean up and rewrite for a while, and now is as good a time as any. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:13, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, my bad! Can we add all of that stuff to the other page, then? Or whatever's not research? Or no? Mandoli (talk) 01:10, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some of that stuff could be added to Connecticut Southern Railroad, about the part of the line in Manchester being purchased by the city. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 01:15, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
