[MassHistPres] Rail Corridor Preserved for Educational Purposes?

[Kay Westcott]

I want to thank Gretchen for giving a thorough response. I wanted to add
the WESTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY BULLETIN  Vol. XLIX, No.1*  Spring 2018. It
can be found online
http://www.westonhistory.org/data/uploads/bulletins/2018-Spring-Bulletin.pdf.
It lists the historical items found along the trail in Weston and Wayland
as well as the history of the railroad. It is 60 pages long. The signal
tower is in the process of being restored, funded by CPC, and Rich Conard's
knowledge of where to find the needed equipment.
