The Society for Industrial Archaeology gives tours up there from time to time. There are actually five, covered RR bridges still standing in New England.<BR/><BR/>I live in Northampton, MA and there are over 200 rail-to-trail projects underway within 100 miles of Northampton making the network being developed--the densest in the nation.<BR/><BR/>I used to work for Rails-to-Trails Conservancy and still do advocacy work in this realm all over the region through a small consulting frim. I have a free html newsletter set up that comes out monthly.

My brothers and I used t bike down the River Road towards Lyme and would picnic by the bridge.JayVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892272648798100594noreply@blogger.com
