Rails to Trails Assistance

A number of Massachusetts communities are in the process of or are considering the development of trails along abandoned railroad corridors. Some of these communities are or are considering working with Iron Horse Preservation Society, a nonprofit organization that removes the railroad track, recycles the rails, and develops the trails (using the proceeds from the sale of the tracks).
