Featured Event: Bike Or Walk New Central MA Rail Trail In Wayland

WAYLAND, MA—The community is invited to walk or bike the new Rail Trail between Russell's Crossing in the Wayland Town Center and the Tower Hill Station site on Plain Road in a guided tour sponsored by the Wayland Historical Commission and Friends of the Wayland Rail Trail.

This tour, which takes place on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., runs along the Central Massachusetts Railroad which was considered a "railroad that should have never been built." There were passenger trains that stopped in Wayland from 1881 to 1971.

Signs along the trail explain the history of it, and Town Center MassEnergize will have ecars and ebikes to see and drive, as well as bike tune-ups. It also corresponds with Russell's annual "Pond Sale."

Go here for more information and a map indicating where guides will be located, as well as good places to park.
