It appears that the last southwest Connecticut-Hartford line was via Cheshire, Milldale, and New Britain. New Haven-Cheshire-Milldale survived to 1936, and New Britain-Hartford to 1937. Plainville-New Britain was gone by 1936, but I don't have a lower bound, or details for Milldale-Plainville. --NE2 22:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Did it enter Massachusetts?
I can't figure out if the company operated from Thompson north to Webster, Massachusetts, or if that was a different company. North of Webster was the Worcester and Webster Street Railway, and the Webster and Dudley Street Railway also operated in the Webster area. does not show the line, which used School Street south from downtown Webster. --NE2 08:25, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
