R. from Athol to Green field on the Conn. River from Greenfield including the Easthampton sud GhiOopee Falls branches on the Mass Central from Amherst to Northampton on the New London Northern from Stafford Springs on the Ware River from Ware and on the Boston & Albany east to East Brook6eld and west to Chester.
