Simsbury Train Station

While up visiting the Flower Bridge, I had to stop and snap a few photos of the former Simsbury Railroad station. The old locomotive and caboose were out back.

Airline Trail (Chaplin to Pomfret)

Today I decided to head north on the Airline Trail starting from where I had turned around back in 2023 and ride up to Pomfret. I didn't get started until late afternoon but it was nice and sunny and not brutally hot (for a change!).

At The Start

I started in the middle of nowhere near Chaplin. The reason? This spot was close to where I rode to and turned around on a previous airline trail ride back in 2023. Details >

At Pomfret

Informative!!

Where I turned around

Truth be told, I could have kept going on to Putnam but I was really bored at this point! :-)

The ride back....

Stonework

I thought for a second this was an old abandoned caboose, but on closer examination it appeared to be an old horse trailer :-(

Back to where I started
