Guided Tour: Mass Central Rail Trail – Wayside (Wayland) Trail

Saturday, October 13 ~ 11 AM – 2 PM. Wayland Historical Society is pleased to co-sponsor with the Wayland Historical Commission and the Friends of the Wayland Rail Trail A Guided Central Rail Trail – Wayside (Wayland) Trail. Walk or bike the new Rail Trail between Russell’s Crossing (Town Center) and the Tower Hill Station site (Plain Road). Although the Central Massachusetts Railroad has been described as “a railroad that should never have been built,” Wayland enjoyed passenger train service from 1881 to 1971; freight service continued until 1980.  Guides posted at the Tower Hill station site, the cattle pass, the freight house, the Wayland Depot, and at the turntable and water tank will explain how it all worked.  At Town Center MassEnergize will have ecars and ebikes to see and drive and free bike tune-ups.  Russell’s annual Pond Sale will be that day.
