While traveling east on the Mass Pike a few times recently I have noticed what looks like a couple of new rail lines passing under the Pike in the Worcester area. One line looks like they are constructing a fairly large yard right beside it. I lived in Massahusetts until 1978 and don't remember any rail lines in this area, so I am assuming these are either new or rehabilitated lines. Does anyone know what I am referring to? What's the history on these lines?
Do you mean the area near the water treatment facility? If so, we have passed near there as well. I also noticed some rails way down on the ground, and just assumed this was part of the Worcester yard. I'm curious as well.
