One of the more popular locations between Springfield and New Haven for many photographers is the John Street overpass in Wallingford. Looking north offers a nice view of southbound trains, with the iconic steeple of Most Holy Trinity Church in the background. A handful of my favorite shots of Connecticut Southern, CTrail, and Amtrak have been taken here. Although the freights now run under the cover darkness, this location is still great for capturing passenger traffic. On a winter's afternoon in January, GP40-3H 6698 heads a four-car set of stainless steel Mafersa coaches, operating as CTrail 4407 towards Union Station in New Haven.
