Post #3- Fairhaven Rail Yard Track Plan

            This is the map, published in June 1915, of the Fairhaven Branch Railroad (which by this time had been swallowed up by the Old Colony and New York, New Haven & Hartford railroads to become part of the Old Colony System of the NYNH&HRR) Yard on the Fairhaven waterfront. You can find the original map here: http://images.lib.uconn.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/maps/id/1700 . I outlined the major and important features on this map, using Microsoft Paint.
            On another note, I have discovered a piece of plywood in my house. The board has some pieces missing out of it, but I think I will be able to work with it, as the pieces are taken out of the top, where the ferry slip and end of the yard will be. More to come.
