Sue will host a slide presentation showing captivating images of the then-and-now of railroad history from Bridgeport, Connecticut starting in 1836 when railroad was king. It will include all the events and industry that surrounded the railroad.
It will begin with the Housatonic R.R. that started in Bridgeport in 1836 and continue north into the Trumbull Valley, Monroe, Newtown, Brookfield, Danbury, West Cornwall, Kent, Cannan, CT, and into Pittsfield, Mass.
