The Ayer to Worcester segment is probably a no-no at this time.
It has a 25 MPH speed limit with some 10MPH running and has had
some hiccups (derailments) in recent years. Also, the East Deerfield
to Fitchburg segment is problematic with 25MPH and some 10MPH
running. With the exception of two private car excursions over
the PAR/PAS route earlier this year and in 2012, there have not
been any open to the public excursions on either route in decades.
PAR's track upkeep leaves much to be desired.
