  • Danbury Terminal Railroad Company Maybrook Properties Incorporated
    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 U.S.C. §231 et seq.) (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.

  • Executive Summary
    ACTION PLAN FOR RESTORING PASSENGER RAIL SERVICE TO NEW MILFORD Executive Summary Photog·aph i,rovlded courtesy ot Bob Rush, New Milford, Conneclicul Prep~red for HVCEO by: VllB ls 0419404194bcvfh4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The Housatonic Valley Region is currently served by two commuter rail lines, the Danbury Branch of the New Haven Line and the Harlem Valley Line located in eastern New York State. The Danbury Branch extends from South Norwalk to Danbury, a distance of 24 miles and connects to the New Haven Line in Norwalk. Service is provided to eight stations along the single track branch: Danbury, Bethel, West Redding, Branchville, Cannondale, Wilton, Merritt 7 and South Norwalk. Commuter service on both the Danbury Branch and the Harlem Valley Line is operated by Metro-North Railroad. The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CT DOT) owns the trackage and rolling stock on the Danbury Branch and contracts with Metro-North for commuter rail service. (see Figure EX-1, Regional Commuter Rail System) In the Fall of 1994, the Housatonic Valley Council of Elected Officials (HVCEO) commissioned a study, based on a recommendation in its 1992 Rail Transit Development Program, to examine the feasibility of extending existing commuter rail service on the Danbury Branch, as shown in Figure EX-2. This feasibility study, titled Action Plan for Restoring Passenger Rail Service to New Milford, was completed in two phases. The initial phase, Phase 1, evaluated the feasibility of enhancing and extending the existing service from a ridership and demand perspective. Based on the findings of the Phase 1 effort, the Phase 2 study was undertaken to perform an engineering evaluation of the recommended service extensions.
