Former N.Y. & N.H. RR. Station for sale

The Cornwall Bridge (CT) station is up for sale. This original N.Y. & N.H. RR building has been converted to a home. It’s directly adjacent to an active branch line (Housatonic RR), but doesn’t include much property. Selling in the mid $300’s. If it wouldn’t add over an hour to my commute I’d seriously consider it.

Is this dejavu or have we just had this conversation before?

Same conversation, different building :smiley:

Go for it, Jon.
Would make a beautiful train shop!

Way too far off the beaten path for any type of retail. Been there, done that, didn’t work.

Besides, it would take me a year to get my house in shape to sell for enough money to buy this one. I’d be trading the lake I boat on for an non-navigable river and the yard where my trains and gardens live for an active track 6 feet from my bedroom :o That and the house is probably less than 1000 S.F. Mines not much bigger until you add the attic storage and teh full nearly-finished basement.

Now, if it comes up again in 10-15 years when I’m ready to retire - who knows.

Here’s a longer shot showing the relationship to the highway bridge (US Rt 7) and the tracks. This was the Metro North Farewell to the FL-9 fan trip in October 2005. [url=lsc.cvsry.com/FL9-8-1024.jpg]
