Suggested tweaks
 * The sentence "Originally granted..." feels confusing, as it doesn't address the charter until midway through the sentence. Maybe move the charter up, as in "The charter, originally granted, blah blah"
 * "Following the assumption of control by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad-controlled New England Railroad" It's slightly ambiguous as to what they took control of
 * "both Connecticut's winter weather and swampy ground" don't think you need the word both here but I won't die about it

That's it! Nothing to prevent a pass. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 16:28, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
