Dormant railroad line being cleared for revival - 9/2021

The Bay Colony Railroad's Millis Line has not seen a revenue move since February of 2019. Since then the line was overgrown with high grasses which made this line seemingly abandoned. In October of 2020 trestle work, which included the replacement of wooden timbers, was done on the bridge over the Charles River. Brush cutting over the entire line from Medfield Junction to the former GAF warehouse at the end of the line was done at the same time but no traffic turned up in 2020. Now in 2021 the Bay Colony Railroad is once again brush cutting the line for a potential traffic up turn. It is possible that this little used line that hasn't seen a train in almost three years  may see traffic again.

This video shows current conditions and ongoing brush clearing at three locations along the Millis Branch.
