I have added a section to my website that I wanted to share with everyone. It’s not much, right now but it is growing! (Since I can’t build trains, I might as well research them!) If you are interested in Eastern US rail history (as, most of my material is based in New England), then you’ll enjoy this page. In addition, I’ve written my own section about rail history in the are I grew up. If you like studying old maps, and seeing pictures of railways past, please see Railroading History: Northampton, MA. Just today I went for a walk along a very old section of track and I added the matching section to that page.

(Since I am moving, a Rhode Island section may eventually show up!)

Please feel free to suggest additions or let me know what you think!

You are making the assumption that the RR started pulling up the rail. Maybe it was somebody else.

Some people might find a use for it in their construction projects. I could think of a few.

That’s a fair point, Tom. I have made adjustments. Thank you!
