Notes
  • Significance: The Freight Car Shop recalls the importance of the New Haven Rail Yard in the late nineteenth century, when it was the principal shop facility for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. Like other large railroads in the period, the New Haven built much of its rolling stock (other than passenger cars) in its own shops. The building's function is reflected in its form, in which large openings in the ends accommodated four parallel tracks. Originally, connecting tracks and a transfer table integrated the Freight Car Shop with the machine shop located just to the north and the paint shop to the west. From a building technology viewpoint, the pinned roof trusses are of interest as an archaic form that was quickly superceded by riveted trusses.
