The museum in question, The Railroad Museum of New England ( aka the Naugatuck Railroad) does indeed specialize in New England equipment. They are connected to Metro-North at Waterbury, as well as Guilford and (I think) Housatonic (via a much disused line)

Getting rapid transit cars in there will more than likely remain a fantasy, owing to the non-New England nature of subway cars, pesky FRA requirements, lack of high-level platforms and the fact that the museum already has equipment coming out of it's ears (most of it stored at a yard in Saybrook)
