How many total miles of active track does the P&W own?

From the P&W web site: The Company began independent operations in 1973 and through a series of acquisitions of connecting lines, has grown from 45 miles of track to its current system of approximately 545 miles.
They don't specify ownership versus trackage rights.

I don't know much about the P&W south of Worcester, but the Gardner Branch is former B&M trackage.

Everwhere the P&W runs is ex-New Haven trackage except for the Worcester-Gardner branch, which as noted above is former B&M.
