Real estate rumors as rail line plans loom in Stratford
In Stratford rumors swirl of the N H & H railroad buying the Reed block and possibly razing it or converting it to a workers lodge, with talk of a bridge and trolley loop changes to extend tracks toward the town. Other talk suggests Reed may sell the Russell property near the barber shop, though Russell reportedly not selling. Officials reportedly seek two extra tracks through town, risking Main street blott ing and possible bridge widening, prompting calls to elevate the Main street bridge and settle trolley issues.
