I reached out to the Open Space Committee in Medway to ask about plans for a rail trail in place of the former rail ROW. This was their (disappointing) response: I'm confused by the claim that "property owners on either side of the track actually own their "half" of it". According to the MA...

Interesting idea. It would be nice to expand light rail service to some of the denser suburban towns, since so many of those towns used to have trolley service. I wish that Commuter Rail service to Gardner never ended, even though ridership was low. Here's my unserious proposal for a Green...

Here's another image from the article, from a driver's perspective:

This article is a few months old (from February), but I'm posting it anyway because Roanoke has daily Amtrak service to/from Boston: https://www.wdbj7.com/2026/02/02/roanoke-looking-build-train-station-amtrak-platform/

South Salem station is long overdue, so this is welcome news. I really hope it breaks ground before 2030.

MBTA to offer special train service for 2026 events at Gillette Stadium

I just hope the rail trail doesn't preclude reactivating the tracks for Commuter Rail service to Woonsocket. It would also be nice if rail-with-trail on the Franklin Line is the long-term goal for this corridor. A safe, convenient cycling route connecting Franklin, Norfolk, Walpole, Norwood...
