My hometown of Guilford, Connecticut, had a neat suburban station that I believe was built in the late 1800's or early 1900's. It pretty much followed the ups and downs of the NYNY&H RR; it was closed in 1968 when Penn Central took over. As I recall, the station was then taken over by a marine repair shop and then was torn down sometime between 1980 and now. What is interesting is that passenger service has come back to Guilford- three trains a day, which is about the highest amount of service Guilford has ever seen. The stop has been rebuilt as one of those ubiquitous bus stop type platforms. I was interested to see that the warning lines for passengers were about six inches back from the edge of the platform- and that there were signs saying that high speed trains went through the station (the Acela service goes through town, alledgedly at one of it's highest speed points.) <br />When they tore the station down, they left what appears to be an ancient water tower there. I'm not sure how old that is, but the exterior shell, made of brick, hasn't fallen apart. <br /> <br />Erik
