State agrees to buy RR land in dispute with Penn Central
State budgets $267000 to acquire East Providence to Bristol right of way, not clearly including the Penn Central freight yard. Officials acknowledge legal confusion over what was purchased and whether the yard is part of the deal, while Bristol remains committed to buying the yard for up to $162000. The town has a separate contract with Penn Central, awaiting bankruptcy court approval, and may still obtain the yard directly if the state deal falters.
