Moonlit Rail ™

The rusty rails seen in this view looking northward across State Street in Bondsville towards what was Forrest Lake station are still "active" — or at least were when this photo was taken in May of 2003. This is the longest of the two remaining, navigable sections of the original Massachusetts Central ROW, the other being a short stub leading from the Ware River Railroad tracks in Ware, south-west to the Kanzaki Specialty Papers mill (which was built directly atop the original ROW).

Today, these tracks are owned by a short-line calling itself the "Massachusetts Central Railroad" which, despite its name, actually operates over the tracks of the original Ware River Railroad from Palmer to Barre.
