hq_city=The New Haven and Northampton Railway was a railroad built in a canal bed in 1848 and was one of the many lines consolidated into the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad on April 1, 1887.
Corporate history
The New York and New Haven Railroad leased the first few sections soon after they opened, obtaining the line to Plainville in 1848 and the extension to Granby plus several branches in 1850. In 1869, the leases expired, and the railroad was independent until 1887 when the New Haven leased the whole line.
Route
The railroad was built along the right-of-way next to the former Farmington Canal and ran from New Haven north to Northampton, Massachusetts and beyond to the Fitchburg Railroad's Troy and Greenfield Railroad. Portions of the line were still in use up until the 1980s.
Trail
The right-of-way is now being converted for the Farmington Canal Trail.
