    BCD 1993-17 BA # 3123 EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION Danbury Terminal Railroad Company Maybrook Properties Incorporated This is the determination of the Railroad Retirement Board concerning the status of Danbury Terminal Railroad Company (DTR) and Maybrook Properties Incorporated (MPI) as employers under the Railroad Retirement Act (45 LJ.S.C. §231 et sea. ) (RRA) and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. §351 et seq. ) (RUIA). In Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) Finance Docket No. 32180 (Sub-No. 1), decided December 21, 1992, DTR and MPI modified a previously filed notice of exemption to acquire and operate approximately 157.15 miles of certain rail lines in Connecticut and New York owned or operated by Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) (BA No.1321). The ICC decision stated that DTR would acquire from Conrail: (1) operating rights in Danbury Yard (owned by State of Connecticut); (2) operating and freight rights over the Harlem line between milepost 22.0 in White Plains, New York, and milepost 81.6 in Wassaic, New York (leased by Metropolitan Transportation Authority and controlled by Metro North Commuter Railroad between milepost 22.0 and milepost 76.6, and owned by New York and Harlem Railroad and leased to Penn Central Corporation between milepost 76.6 and milepost 81.6); and (3) incidental trackage rights over the Waterbury Branch (owned by the State of Connecticut and controlled by Metro North Commuter Railroad) between milepost 0.0 in Devon, Connecticut, and milepost 8.9 in Derby, Connecticut. The ICC decision stated that MPI would acquire from Conrail and DTR would operate: (1) The Danbury Secondary Track (a) between milepost 0.0 in Beacon, New York, and milepost 12.8 in Hopewell Junction, New York, and (b) between milepost 42.9 in Hopewell Junction, and milepost 104.8 in Derby, Connecticut; (2) The Stepney Branch in Botsford (Newtown), Connecticut between milepost 14.2 and milepost 14.6; and (3) The New Milford Secondary Track between milepost 0.0 in Berkshire Junction, Connecticut, and milepost 13.65 in New Milford, Connecticut.

  • History of New Haven County, Branford Chapter, by J.L. Rockey
    HISTORY OF NEW HAVEN COUNTY, 1897 VOLUME II, Chapter I, The Town of Branford J.L. Rockey Settlement and Early History—Civil Government—Town Officers—Town Buildings—Branford Borough—Probate District—Public Highways—General Industrial Interests—Branford Village—Beach and Shore Resorts Branford is one of the shore towns of the county. It is between seven and eight miles, along the sound, between Guilford on the east and East Haven on the west. From North Branford south to the coast line the distance is between four and five miles. The surface is uneven, there being in some localities high hills. Many of these having a smooth surface, are tillable to the summit. In the western part some of the Branford hills attain considerable elevation and are designated by local names. In the southeast outcroppings of granite are manifest and the soil is less fertile than in other localities. Along Stony creek that rock has been extensively quarried for building purposes. That stream empties into the sound at a cluster of numerous islands, several hundred in number, large and small, called Thimble Islands. Farther west is still another cluster, called Indian islands. The streams are small, Branford River, flowing through the central part, being the most important. Near the sound its course is winding, and for several miles it is a tidal stream, admitting vessels of from 50 to 75 tons burden. In the vales and lowlands the soil is strong and very productive. It has been found, with proper fertilization, to be admirable adapted for garden crops, and a number of inhabitants have lately engaged in that pursuit.
