New Haven, Connecticut, to Mount Washington, New Hampshire (S03E05)

With his trusty Appleton's guide in hand, Michael Portillo embarks on a rail adventure that traverses both rivers and mountains as he makes his way through Connecticut and moves north into the picturesque New England region. In New Haven, he dives into the world of rowing, experiencing firsthand the historic rivalry between Yale and Harvard on the very waters where they have competed for supremacy since 1852.
