Old Photos with unidentified dates or locations

Good morning, Charlie.

I looked through Historic Aerials and although the track arraignment hasn't changed I still can't exactly place where the photo was taken.  Further study of the photo indicates track heading toward the background as if there might be a Y or just a siding.  Hope this helps.

The train may be heading into a yard. I have been exploring Google Earth, but things have changed so much I am wondering if it is now a trail.  It is a challenge

try going to the library of congress site and look up the sanborn map collection   from what i could tell glancing at them you might have been in east hartford . though have never been close to that area but the sanborn maps might help.

Thanks Jim, I was looking at some pictures on the Conrail historical site taken in East Hartford and some looked similar but not exact, but they were taken 3 years after these so a great possibility.
