Bay Colony Railroad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bay Colony Railroad Corporation is a short line freight railroad principally serving southeastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod and the Millis - Milford - Needham Corridor. In addition to moving freight for its customers, Bay Colony also performs AAR railcar repair work, bids out track construction projects and provides facilities for passenger service on Cape Cod.
The Bay Colony railroad was chartered on March 31, 1977, with the intent of taking over freight service on former New Haven lines from Conrail, which was planning to abandon service. Bay Colony took over all freight operations on the lines on June 12, 1982. It currently operates a fleet of approximately 7 secondhand locomotives.
