The station had previously been opened from August 15, 1872 to March 19, 1873. It was closed two months after the line was extended south to Bowling Green (nee No. 7, Broadway). It would remain open until 1879 when it was closed to facilitate the construction of the junction with the 6th Avenue Line. Sources: New York Division Bulletin /April 1994, article by Mr. Bernard Linder "New York El Lines 1867 / 1955", Electric Railroads Magazine No.25, December 1956 1920 – from The Book of First Runs The New Haven Railroad opens a new depot in New Haven, Connecticut. It is a four story brick building known as “Union Station”. It replaced the previous depot which was destroyed by fire on May 19, 1918. Source: Adams, Phillip W, New Haven Facilities In Color; Volume 2: New Haven Division (2011), Morning Sun Books 1962 – from The Book of Wrecks A fire in the Clifton Shops of the Staten Island Railway destroys seven of the ME-1 electric mu cars; 306, 311, 318, 326, 338, 372 and 379. This leaves SIRT with only forty-eight cars. 2007 – from The Book of Last Runs (In Memoriam) Mr. Dante Angerville passed away today at the age of 19. He was a fine young gentleman and an accomplished rail photographer. Our community is the poorer by his departure but we are all the richer for having known him. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

Posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Sun Apr 5 11:42:59 2026, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for April 5 and an In Memorium, posted by irtredbirdr33 on Sun Apr 5 08:26:31 2026. 2002 - From the Book of First RunsDenver's newest light rail extension, the 1.8-mile Central Platte Valley Spur, opened today. It branches off from the original line at the Colfax Ave. viaduct and proceeds to Union Station. New stations include Auraria West, Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Ball Arena (formerly the Pepsi Center)-Elitch Gardens and Union Station. At the same time, color and letter codes were implemented for light rail routes. The original line became the D line and was colored green while the new line was designated as the C line and colored orange. Existing LRVs had a flip placard in front with a D and a green background on one side and a C with an orange background, in addition to the mylar destination sign. |
