Progress as of yesterday on this newest MN station. This station platforming looks similar to the Fairfield Metro station. This will be a bus and train station and will include 660 parking spaces.

I was at the RFW in an M2 train, mostly to grab these shots, so enjoy!

Here is what is being built:

Isn't the line between New Haven and Stratford 3 tracks? Why are they restoring the 4th one here?

Looks like Redbirds without the red and a rooftop thing.

It's 4 tracks to somewhere in Orange IINM, before it gets to Milford, then 3 until Devon where it becomes 4 tracks again. The 4 here are original trackage.

your pal,
Fred

How far from New Haven is this station? I assumed it was about halfway between NH and Milford.

Interesting on how the original New Haven Catenary poles are being relocated/replaced.

It's about a third of the way from NH to Milford so about 3 minutes from NHV.

They are keeping current catenary structures and are not relocating or replacing them.
the round poles are for utillity lines of CL&P.
