Congrats to UMass72 for being the FTF!

Reformatory Branch Trail (RBT)
The Boston & Maine Railroad’s Reformatory Branch was built in 1873 to Lowell Road in Concord and in 1879 it was continued 2.5 miles further west to Reformatory Station (across from the State Prison). There were four passenger stations on the line: Shady Hill, West Bedford, Concord and Reformatory. The branch was abandoned in 1962, and the right-of-way was purchased by Bedford and Concord. The trail is unimproved but it is still a good bike path. Along the way it skirts Great Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary. Bring your own pen.
