The Stoney Lonesome trail, which is owned and maintained by the Norfolk Land Trust, is known for it high rock cuts. Thanks to a grant from the Evan Hughes Trust, and based on research by Richard Byrne, the land trust has recently installed a new informative sign on the trail.  The sign recounts the dramatic story of how, in 1882, this part of the old Western Connecticut Railroad was the site of an accident when a large boulder—estimated at the time to weigh five tons—fell from the rock walls, causing a train to derail. There were no passengers on the train, and the fireman and engineer were not seriously injured. All service along that line was ended by 1939.
