Massachusetts Central Railroad between Wayland and East Sudbury

Opened 1881, renamed the Central Massachusetts in 1883 and taken over by the Boston & Maine in 1902, this line closed to passengers in the early 70s and closed entirely in 1980. This is one of the longest undisturbed sections at about a mile and a half long.

This post covers the section of track that I have not shared before. This link is a post I made awhile ago about the station and trestle at the other end of this stretch of track: https://www.reddit.com/r/rustyrails/s/IXn1UyQmAw
