This special all-day rail outing on the Providence & Worcester Railroad and Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. Our P&W 'Fall Circle Tour' will follow a unique routing that includes the mill towns of eastern Connecticut, the Thames River, the scenic seascapes of the Connecticut shoreline and the Blackstone River Valley.
Our special train leaves at 9:00 AM from the P&W's operating headquarters on Hammond Street in Worcester, MA. We'll first travel down the P&W's main line through the mill towns of Putnam and Plainfield to Norwich. Our train will skirt the eastern shore of the Thames River to Groton, CT, where we'll join Amtrak's Northeast Corridor for the eastbound run to Cranston and Providence, RI, passing through some of the most scenic coastal portions of this route. At Providence we'll turn onto the P&W's main line, passing through Woonsocket before returning to Worcester at approximately 5:30 PM. We are planning to have two photo stops along the way as schedule and operating conditions permit.
