I had a look around Milford on Thursday, April 17 2014. There was some active ROW rebuilding going on between South Main and Cape Road in Milford; also some visible from the parking lot of Sacred Heart Church on Hopedale Street in Hopedale. I snapped some photos in the area, but only a few show rebuilding activity:
South Cedar Street: CSX line with detached G&U switch, looking South (toward Bellingham/Franklin along CSX), and at the G&U Milford Yard area (currently with all tracks removed). Large pile of removed ties in the background.

South Main Street, looking west (toward Hopedale yard) - active ROW work in progress. Rails and ties removed, looks like they were preparing ROW for new track.
