abstract
  • The company originated as the streetcar operations of Connecticut Light & Power Company, but the separate name of Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company was adopted for those operations in 1901. The company also operated some intercity operations, such as Bridgeport-New Haven, coordinated with The Connecticut Company (ConnCo), exchanging transfers with the latter's routes in cities where ConnCo provided local service. During the period from 1906 to 1920, the company gradually leased out its routes to ConnCo, but in 1936 CR&L resumed operation of those lines when ConnCo failed to make payments on the leases. By 1937, nearly all trolleys were replaced by buses. CR & L's bus color scheme was predominantly green. Its operations in Norwalk ended in 1970; the rest of the system ceased to operate in November, 1972. Operations were replaced by service provided by Connecticut Transit in New Britain, Meriden, and Waterbury, Norwalk Transit District (more than ten years later), and Greater Bridgeport Transit Authority (1975).
