Are all the cars comming to Watertown if it's still active comming from Ayer or? Also is the other end of the branch that connects to the MBTA Fitchburg Branch near Waltham Tower still in use? Speaking of Cars near BET... arn't they usually parked across from the sullivan sq Orangle Line station? I thought they came down on GRS from the Lawrence Yard but may be incorrect

No, the Bemis Branch is history. They didn't waste much time in ripping it up, either...

All that's left is a stub a few carlengths long at the tower in Waltham. Often saw MOW equipment or hi-rail trucks parked there when I worked in Waltham.

The bridges across the Charles are about all that's left beyond that. In many places its almost impossible to tell where the ROW even went already.
