Item Details

Description

The New London Northern was part of the Central Vermont Railway. Early Railroad charters were issued on a per state basis and the New London Northern was the CV's line from Palmer Massachusetts to New London, Connecticut. Some of these lines were "paper roads" but many had operational aspects. This part of the CV had its own employee timetables for many years. This key has made by Bohannan (no hallmark but guaranteed to be) and has NLN RR on one side and "127" and an "S" on the reverse. A nice key.
