I just do what the majority of the voices in my head vote on.
Mike,
Like Ed, I do not get a reply button on your post either.
Maybe somebody at MR will notice and see if the problem can be corrected.
Have fun,
Richard
I remember this branch from our railfanning days on our way to or from B&Ms East Deerfield yard . A few times we saw a switcher moving cars to or from a mill complex can't recall if they had a caboose. Part of the route ran through a golf course. It is my understanding that it is what was left of a former New Haven line.that the B&M took over after NH cutbacks.
Here is a link to a NHRHTA page that will list articles about that line.
http://www.nhrhta.org/
When you get to the home page on the far right is a column that lists resources .About 3/4 of the way down the list Click on the item that says
it will bring up a page titled
click on the highlighted line that says
A larger map of the New Haven Railroad, from a 1929 train schedule, can also be viewed.
this will bring up the large map that you can use .
Move your cursor to a point on the map and click it will bring up a list of NHRHTA publications and any Shoreliner magazine articles that relate to the point you click on. On the first page with a small map is a list of Shoreliner articles on equipment and a link to sales page and list of currently available Shoreliners.
here are two other resources
The NHRHTA YUKU forum link to that on the home page.
You can read the forum but not post .If you wish to post you have to join the forum ,this does not require membership in NHRHTA.
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/BM_RR/conversations/messages This group discusses the B&M it does require you to join the forum to look at messages
Both of these are very good resources with a lot of very helpful members
Of course if you have a big interest in New Englad railroads consider joining the New Haven Railroad Historical and Technical Association (NHRHTA.org) and the Boston and Maine Railroad Historical Society (B&MRRHS.org)

I Don't have a reply button on your post so I have to make a new thread. IT team must be on vacation today! I tried in IE and Chrome.
I have lots of information on B&M and B&A railroads and I could not find any Turners Falls in those timetables...
Turns out that Turners Falls branch was on the New Haven! That explains a few things...
Do some Google searching, there is quite a bit there concerning the branch and the present day bike trail and bridge over the Connecticut River.
