[MassHistPres] - Seeking speaker - Massachusetts Railroad History

[Tris Metcalfe]

Hi Terry
Craig Della Penna in Northampton [Craig Della Penna <Craig4135 at Comcast.net>]
sends out an email called "Rail Trail News From Around the Northeast” He is now a realtor helping buy RR easements to allow the spread of bike paths. He had an earlier career working on the Rail road and now sits on Northampton’s Historical Commission. He could certainly add to any conference on transportation history.

Someone suggested that we ask someone to speak about the history of trains in Massachusetts, especially in our region, Middlesex County, North of Boston. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I might be able to find such a speaker?
