Housatonic Railroad at Canaan Union Station—November 2017.

December 5, 2017 brian solomon 3 Comments

A little more than a month after the events of 911, the historic Canaan, Connecticut Union Station was destroyed by fire.

Thankfully the classic structure has since been reconstructed and today it stands along the Housatonic Railroad line where the old Central New England route once crossed.

I made these photos last week on a visit to Canaan. Sometimes it helps to be in position at a sunrise and watch how the light changes as the sun climbs into the sky.

I featured the old Canaan Union Station in my book Railroad Stations published by MetroBooks in 1998.

For more information on the station see: https://canaanunionstation.com/history/

   Especially nice early morning light in first photo. I bet you were hoping engines would have shown up then!

   What a beautiful, old station. And your sunrise pictures certainly bring that beauty out. The first pic is the best! Nice!
