In the Mid 1990’s, the now state-owned track got a new lease on life when a building supply chain built a regional warehouse adjacent to the tracks of the dormant line in Bloomfield, just north of Hartford. A. J. Belliveau, a railroad construction contractor out of Newington, bid to operate the line and the Central New England Railroad Griffin line was born.
