Condition of Railroad Roadbed Brings Comment

Since operations ended and stations and right of way were dismantled, the roadbed’s unsightly condition concerns the community and hinders prospective settlement. Some urge a town purchase of all or parts of the roadbed, to create parallel streets and relieve traffic on Shirley street from the Beach area to Locust Street.
