Within 150 miles of Northampton, MA lies the densest network of former steam railroad corridors in the United States. The longest, most complex (to put back together) of these corridors in New England is the MASS CENTRAL RAIL TRAIL (MCRT). This developing trail runs 104 miles from North Station in Boston to Union Station in Northampton.

Come take a journey with Craig Della Penna who will show you just how complicated this 40+ year journey has been and how we are likely to be in the home stretch to get it built out. You’ll also learn just what it will mean to the communities along the way.

Presented by Craig Della Penna, board president, Norwottuck Network
