Walkers trace Waltham’s rail past on scenic fall history tour
About 25 people joined a guided history walk along the Mass Central Rail Trail in Waltham on Oct. 5, hosted by the Waltham Land Trust and the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation. Participants enjoyed perfect weather as they explored the historic rail corridor.
Rick Kfoury, president of the Boston & Maine Railroad Historical Society, led the tour, sharing stories about the railway that once ran where the trail now lies. Members of the Waltham Historical Society also contributed insights about local landmarks.
Highlights included visits to two former station sites—Waltham North and Waltham Highlands, the latter of which still stands—as well as a stop at the mural on the side of 118 Bacon St., owned by Peter Ryan.
