Once launched I was impressed by just how quiet and still a morning it was...
Change awaits this railroad line running between Worcester and Ayer now that CSXT officially owns the line...
...the expected changes may result in trains at some point moving faster than the present 10 mph.
...with very little gunfire from Fort Devens firing range. Also the mosquitoes that were out of control here last year were nowhere to be found. One good thing from the drought?
Thanks to the Ice House Dam located several miles downriver there was plenty of water despite the present drought conditions...
This particular stretch of the Nashua can be counted on to have more than the usual amount of plastic trash, especially nip bottles of which there were 68...
As I write this steady rain is falling for the first time in quite awhile.

I did this section a few years ago while laid off during peak covid. I went on a Monday because I heard the coal train goes by at noon. I was excited to see it. River was very high and I paddled around the little chapel at St Benedict's Abbey. Looked at the map when I got home, I was actually paddling around in a flooded field.
Sadly, saw tons of nips. Picked up about 20 but they just kept coming and I gave up.

Hello Trevor, Thanks for stopping by. Glad to hear you got out on this stretch of the Nashua and caught the coal train as well. Those nips just keep on coming...from where I'd love to know. Al
