After many years and many people who worked diligently to increase recreational space for residents, the “Rail to Trail” project is moving forward through the efforts of the Open Space Committee and the Selectmen’s office. Below is a history of rail to trail, in Rockland, provided by Donald Cann, resident and Chairman of the Open Space Committee. We hope to provide additional information about this exciting project as it becomes available.

Rail Trail Report a/o BOS Meeting 10/18/2010

Ms. O’Brien presented a project to clean the rail line from Abington to Hanover and create a walking trail. Iron Horse Preservation Society will remove all the rails, spikes, metal and the railroad ties. They will work with the town to clean the entire stretch to create a clean clear walking/ bike riding trail.

There is no cost to the Town of Rockland beyond paving road crossing and arranging egress and access points.

Mr. Chiocca was authorized to proceed with a contract (see below) with Iron Horse Preservation Society. The work by Iron Horse Preservation is expected to be completed by the end of November or early December 2010.
