Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum Columbia Junction Willimantic, CT
The original roundhouse was constructed in 1892 by the NY, NH, & Hartford Railroad.
That's me in front of the
reconstructed roundhouse. It was built over the original pits. Total cost will be about $500,000. A $400,000 grant was
received from the state.
We rode the handcar above. It's surprisingly easy to pump and zips along at a nice pace.
Below is a sporty version.
Sandi is waiting for the 4-4-0 in the 1872 station moved here from Chaplin. The section house below houses a powered gang
car.
