Connecticut 1160
The Connecticut Company was a 1907 consolidation of street car companies from eight different cities in Connecticut (Torrington, Hartford, Middletown, Meriden, New Haven, New London, Norwich & Putnam) and a lease of the Connecticut Railway and Light Co. (serving Stamford, Norwalk, Bridgeport, Ansonia-Derby, New Britain and Waterbury) for a total of fourteen cities served. Each of the 13 divisions originally held it's own roster of cars, but as crossing divisions became common the cars were renumbered.
Connecticut 1160 was originally 542 and was purchased by the Consolidated Railway of New Haven CT shortly before the merger
