Our most ambitious project yet! The Canaan Union Station was built in 1872 at the junction of the Central New England and Housatonic Railroads(both parts of the New Haven). A major architectural landmark, this station stood intact and essentially as built until 2001 when an arson fire destroyed a major part of the station building including its distinctive tower. The damage was severe enough that most people considered the remaining part of the station to be doomed. However a grass roots local effort and state/private funding has meant that, like a phoenix, a restored station is a reality! It is now owned by the Connecticut Historical Railroad Society.
The kit is an accurate rendering (circa 1940)of the station based on restoration plans/information from the New Haven Railroad Historical/Technical Society. Kit includes wood, resin and photo etched parts, Grandt Line baggage carts, appropriate signs and much more!
