Talk:Fitchburg Railroad

message: I believe that this article should be split into 2 articles titled Fitchburg Railroad and Fitchburg Line.  Some of the information currently contained in it pertains to the current MBTA operation, long after the demise of the historical Fitchburg Railroad. DHimmelspach 00:37, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: +1. I wrote the German article about the Fitchburg Railroad and I first hesitated to add the interwiki, because it looked like an article mostly about the Fitchburg Line. I was really confused about it. --Thogo (Talk) 00:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Did the Watertown brance ever connect thru Watertown?  I reacall reading that it never did and I've never seen any sign that a right-of-way once existed. Is there a source?--agr 17:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was never able to find the route through Watertown Sq., but I just did a Google maps search for 2 Waverley Ave, Watertown, MA 02472 and found the path you were talking about on the "satellite" close up.  From there it was easy to trace the complete ROW, even through built up areas in the square. Long, skinny parking lots are a give away. Thanks for clearing that up.--agr 13:37, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm trying to nail down the history of the line CPKC calls the "Freight Subdivision" (CPF 468-CPF 485, roughly Mechanicville to Schenectady). I've seen suggestions that the D&H and B&M jointly owned the line between Crescent and Mechanicville. The ICC valuation report for the B&M says that the D&H owned the line between Crescent and Coons. The D&H valuation report, in what has to be an error, states both that the D&H grants trackage rights to the B&M over that part of the line, and that the B&M grants it trackage rights. The B&M report lists the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel and Western Railway as the builder of  between Rotterdam Junction (west of Schenectady) and Mechanicville, completed in 1855. The D&H report says the D&H built from "Glennville" to Coons, ~, in 1881. Now, 9 miles will get you over what is now the Zim Smith Trail from Mechanicville to the D&H main near Ballston Spa. Shaughnessy is vague about what the D&H did in 1881. Mackensen (talk) 22:38, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
