Hi Folks, For those of you who don't know, the Billerica & Bedford RR in Massachusetts was the first two-foot gauge common carrier in the U.S. The group Friends of Bedford Depot Park has begun relaying two foot track on a portion of the original right-of-way just outside the original line's Bedford, Mass terminus. Photos of the new construction can be found at the groups website by using the attached URL. Enjoy! Glenn http://www.bedforddepot.org/index.html#directory christensenge@yahoo.com |

What was the origin of this 38# rail, a mine perhaps? ryarger@rypn.org |

I do know that they puchased the rail from Kovalchick Salvage (Mr. Kovalchick delivered it personally). I understand they salvage a good portion of their rail from old mine operations.
