NotesRelated Note: The Isle of Safety, a covered bus and trolley stop, was at the intersection of State and Main Streets next to the Old State House until 1976, when that section of State Street was paved over. It was saved by the Knox Foundation and moved to Asylum and Trumbull streets, and later donated to the Trolley Museum in East Windsor, Connecticut.On View
