I'm both humbled and astounded!

I grew up in Weston MA and remember the B&M RR north of the town.  I understood that this section was not going to be a trail but apparently it has become one.  I didn't know how many Rail Trail projects there were in Mass.

 

GREAT topic! 

​

Craig's experience is interesting to hear about. 
 

Lots of good images and real-life examples of projects. There were some great examples


Speaker knew the subject very well.


Anecdotes, variety of different case studies, photos. 

Craig is great, I originally heard him talk a decade ago in upstate NY and it was great to hear him again.

The hope that rails-to-trails provides for our future.

 

Resources regarding trails with Economic Impact Studies and suggestion to seek grants related to historic significance of railways. 


I really found the importance of the historical aspects to be interesting.


All of the information provided was terrific!

I got re-inspired! I have been struggling with projects and it was nice to see success and the approach used to get that success.


The presenter Craig Della Penna had a great presentation, experience, and information

Very much like the first person experience in dealing with landowners and proving that rail corridors/trail are an asset and not a concern.
