On a drive back to Massachusetts from Keene,NH the other day, via Rte. 12, we followed the old abandoned Cheshire Branch down through Troy, Fitzwilliam, Winchendon, etc. I recall years ago that the railroad went through a big rock cut and over a girder bridge at a place called Troy Ledges. You used to be able to see it from the road. We were unable to locate any of that. Has Rte. 12 been rerouted and obliterated that area of the former rail line? It was raining and we had no time to do any exploration, but all traces of the line in that location seem to have vanished.
Some right of way was evident in other spots, but I recall the "Ledges" as being very dramatic, from old photos. Can anyone supply any info on this?
