On August 26 Concord marks the 97th anniversary of the first train linking Lexington and Boston along the old Lexington Tail Road operated by the Lexington and Westbridge railroad. The line reached Concord in 1873 via Bedford, with later expansions to Bedford Billerica and Lowell. The Concord line is now lightly used, mainly for freight, with two abandoned depots on the Lowell road branch. Petitions to discontinue the route have repeatedly failed, most recently last year at the legislature.
