For any railfan looking for information, regarding, the towns of Webster, Dudley or Southbridge, may I suggest that three copies of NHRHTA Shoreliner would be very beneficial, namely, Vol.21 Issue 2 1990, Webster on the N&W Branch, Vol.21 Issue 1 1990, 150th Anniversary of the Norwich & Worcester Branch and Vol 12 Issue 2 1981, Southbridge.
The articles are loaded with some great photos and solid information on the operations in these three towns. Check the NHRHTA site for back copies.
Webster - 1840 the Norwich & Worcester, 1860s Boston, Hartford & Erie, 1880s Providence, Webster & Springfield (B&A Spite Line) and in 1912-13-14 most of the grading for the Southern New England (Grand Trunk) would be completed, but no finished rail or trains would ever operate.
Hi NHBudds: I have been searching for the Southbridge Branch issue of Shoreliner magazine for YEARS! Any idea WHERE I could find one??
I was fortunate to grab a copy of the Webster Branch issue (with outstanding articles by John Mrazik) back in the 90's.
THANKS for the help!
