English: Shortly after its 1840 opening, the Norwich and Worcester Railroad was extended from its Norwich station to a steamboat wharf on the Thames River. Three years later, a bridge was built across the Shetucket River west of Thames Street as part of an extension south to Allyn's Point. In 1854, the Norwich Connection was built, extending west along the waterfront to the New London Northern. Around 1875, the opening of the Laurel Hill Tunnel and Shetucket River Bridge replaced the 1843-built bridge. The original route to the wharf and the Norwich Connection remained in use. The 1899 extension from Allyn's Point to Groton largely obviated the use of both older routes, though they remained intact for some time afterwards. Portions of the 1840- and 1843-built rights of way are still visible.
