Central New England Railroad operates two different lines in Connecticut: the Armory Branch and the Griffins Secondary. As these lines are not directly connected to each other, CNZR exercises trackage rights over the Connecticut Southern Railroad and a small portion of Amtrak's New Haven–Springfield Line to move equipment between them. Both of the company's lines are owned by the state of Connecticut and operated under a lease.
