The Central Massachusetts Railroad was envisioned early in its history as a critical link in a route from Boston to the West, but was destined instead to become the Boston and Maine Railroad’s longest branch line. One of the last railroads to be built in Massachusetts, the Central Mass. was unable to withstand the combined forces of a changing economic base, the Great Depression, and natural disasters.
The Central Mass. (Expanded Second Edition, 2008) is a publication by Marker Press under arrangement with the Boston & Maine Railroad Historical Society, reprinting the original 1975 edition with a new errata section and 30 additional illustrations, expanding on certain points of the history, and extending the narrative through 2006.
