Fairfield County Railroad




Due to lack of financing the railroad was not build at first. The Housatonic Railroad offered to connect Danbury if the town would subscribe for a bond of $100.000 in said company. Danbury declined. The Housatonic build northwards along the route Fairfield County Railroad had surveyed. The Fairfield County Railroad would now only be limited to build south towards Long Island Sound. In 1850 the Charter was renewed, and the company was now called the Danbury And Norwalk Railroad .
