Readville Shops Cement New Haven’s Modern Railroad System
Readville Massachusetts hosts the New Haven railroad repair complex, a 175 acre facility employing about 4600 workers. The shops centralize locomotive and car overhauls with a 250 by 150 foot boiler shop, adding a superheater program, and a centralized general store. The consolidation saves time and money, boosts nearby Hyde Park’s population, and shifts maintenance from New Haven and Boston area yards to Readville.
