  • 311 Clearmeadow Dr. E. Meadow was the first residential property to butt up against the ROW east of the Mitchel field portion of the CRRLI. I grew up there from April 1956 through 1970. The rails had already been removed but the ties were dug up by my dad to build a stacked tie fence along the remains of a concrete roadway immediately south of the tracks. I had been told it was part of the LIMP but never confirmed it.
