Notes
  • Significance: The Central Steam Plant is significant as an important component of the New Haven Railroad's maintenance and repair facilities. It was built during a time of thriving passenger service, a period in which the railroad also undertook a massive rebuilding program that updated its freight-car fleet. Through a network of overhead pipes, the plant provided steam to heat the entire shop complex, as well as the nearby passenger station. The boilers, pumps, and other machinery are of interest as examples of early twentieth-century steam-plant technology.
