Download a PDF of author Scott A. Hartley's 1994 story "Yankee Independence." Read how a northeastern regional grew from being an obscure branch of the New Haven into a 400-mile railroad by the early 1990s

The now 516-mile system in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York has a rich history, which Hartley also wrote about it in the June 1994 issue.
