Abandoned ROW of the Southern New England Railroad, constucted in 1912-13. This portion of ROW went from Palmer, MA east toward West Brimfield, MA. This railroad, designed to connect the Central Vermont Railroad at Palmer, MA to Providence, R.I., was never completed. For more information, pictures, and maps, see the book "Titanic Railroad: The Southern New England Railroad, The Story of New England's Last Great Railroad War," by Larry Lowenthal, published by Marker Press in Brimfield, MA in 1998, ISBN 0-9662736-0-5. The Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts maintain a good website with pictures of the SNE ROW taken on 4/17/04: www.massbayrre.org/Gallery/PSNE0400.htm.
