THE AMHERST RAILWAY SOCIETY
Trip: October 13, 2007

Mass Bay Railroad Enthusiasts announces its 'FALL CIRCLE TOUR' on the Providence & Worcester Railroad on Saturday, October 13, 2007.

By arrangement with Mass Bay railroad Enthusiasts, Amherst Railway Society members can use MBRRE member pricing on this trip. Only the member can use the discounted pricing, guests will pay full fare.

This trip will originate in Worcester at 8:30 AM and will traverse the P&W main line to Providence. At Cranston we'll cover two rare miles of the Harbor Industrial Track, and then run to Davisville on (we expect) the new Third Railā paralleling the Amtrak main line. After another short rare mileage jaunt on former US Navy trackage at Davisville, we'll head west on the Northeast Corridor to Groton, CT, passing through some of the most scenic coastal portions of this route. At Groton we'll turn onto the P&Wās main line for the trip along the Thames River to Norwich. We'll pass through the mill towns of Plainfield and Putnam before returning to Worcester be at approximately 5:30 PM.

All ticket arrangements are handled by Mass Bay. Amherst will not be running a bus. Please carpool to save fuel.
