After the City of Bridgeport began clean up in fall 1992, the choice of incineration became a massive concern to those who had worked hard to be rid of the trash heap. They filed a lawsuit to advocate for a better, safer method of disposal. The material in the collection documents the attempt and includes material turned over in discovery that includes key parts of the Trashmore paper trail, as well as video footage of Mt.

Scrapbook with 251 photographs of structures from Penn Central's Boston Division (two images per page adhered to the page with archival corners), photographs organized alphabetically by location, 1969 Box 2

DESCRIPTION Photo album in scrapbook format with 251 pictures of Penn Central's Boston Division structures in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island taken in early 1969 upon transfer of assets from the New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad. The album is not complete in its coverage, most notably in Back Bay and South Boston. Major service points at New London, Providence and Worcester look to be covered thoroughly with numerous photographs. For other locations, a February 1969 list of structures compiled by the Penn Central's Insurance Dept. (not included with scrapbook) shows that photos of some extant buildings are not included. This is particularly perplexing for locations visited and may suggest the existence of another album or albums, yet undiscovered, assuming the task was carried to completion.
