In my quest to map former railways of New England, there are two things which can seriously obscure a route: development and dams
-
-
Dams are the worst obstacles to mapping--I can usually find where the line approaches the dam (on one side) and the lake (on the other)...
-
...but in between, there's nothing to see except the water's surface. I've run into this in every New England state besides Rhode Island.
-
This is preventing me from finishing several lines in backwoods Maine, one line in NH, two in VT, one in MA, and the Litchfield Line in CT
-
This is excluding the former Athol Line in MA, which ran underneath what is now the Quabbin Reservoir...
-
...which I have mapped the southern part of, from Springfield to the edge of the lake. The northern part, from Athol to the shore...
-
...I have decided to ignore. The other line in MA--in Monroe, continuing to Readsboro VT--I have more or less written off as well.
