Yes, before the construction of the reservoir the Central Mass went through Boylston (an area known as Sawyer's Mill) and West Boylston. There were two stations in Boylston, although both were of the flag stop variety. Even now, Boylston has a population of only about 5,000 people. The line through Boylston was abandoned when the Nashua was dammed, and the whole valley was flooded. Sawyer's Mill is now completely underwater. In Oakdale, the two (pre-flood and rost-flood) lines rejoined. That is where the rail trail starts. If you ride a few miles out, you'll cross the Nashua at least twice on new bridges (I saw them both being constructed) and if you go down by the abutments you'll see the origanal bridge abutments. I'm particularly interested in the Central Mass, as it's my local railroad...
