         Danbury's centrally located rail yard on the ex-NYNH&H (New York, New Haven & Hartford) Railroad line has an existing yard (with turning loop), a large restorable turntable (working), a variety of equipment, connecting rail lines in all four directions, and a restored 1903 Union Station and museum.

 Guarded by crossbucks, we enter the yard just to the south of the station. Metro North #6311 stands lone vigil here on the outer loop track.
