While waiting for trains to appear along the CSX B&A line yesterday, I was studying my Delorme atlas for Massachusetts. On page 39, just nw of Sudbury, there is a depiction of Sudbury State Forest with what looks like a good sized RR yard. It looks like the yard was connected to the B&M Central Mass branch at a point between S Sudbury and Hudson. MS Live Local mapping site shows that Sudbury State Forest was the US Army Training Facility in Sudbury. The attached aerial photo clearly shows the outline of the abandoned yard trackage. My question is what were these tracks used for and when was this trackage abandoned (I'm guessing well before 1980)? Thanks.
