Top two cross arms on the right side were the U-931 white Imperials. The line was installed in 1899 from the Tariffville Dam to Hartford, Connecticut. I've hunted this line off and on for years and the telephone line between the dam and Hartford were CD 104 Pennyquicks. This pictures was taken in 1925 and today remains of the old train station is close to the Barnard's Farm and #3 fire House where I was a volunteer fireman back in the 70's. The chief was Chief Barnard.
