Rediscovering Connecticut Railfanning Hotspots: Where Trains are the Real MVPs!
Since I returned to New Haven, I've been rediscovering some of the railfanning spots in Connecticut that I used to visit in my childhood, particularly those along the Hartford/Springfield Line. These spots include less frequented areas like under bridges, behind gas stations, parking lots near the tracks, and some stations. It's a privilege to have a car and be located so close to these places. I can easily decide on a spot, hop in the car, and go, which is an amazing feeling, often therapeutic. In this video, we're once again exploring one of my favorite spots - Route 5 in Wallingford and the border of Meriden. What I appreciate about this area is the many stores along the turnpike where I can conveniently pick up groceries on my way home from catching trains. If that's not multitasking efficiently, I don't know what is.
