At one time an extension of the New Haven Railroad\u2019s Old Colony Division reached all the way around Cape Cod to the historic fishing village at Provincetown, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last weekend my girlfriend and fellow photographer, Kris Sabbatino brought me to Pamet Beach in Truro, where the railroad had once crossed the Pamet River on a trestle (near the site of the former Truro Station).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made photos of the vestiges of the right-of-way and did our best to trace the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Conway Scenic Railroad, our Budd RDC \u2018Millie\u2019 is a former New Haven car. This was built in 1952, several years before the line to Provincetown was abandoned. Standing on the beach in the fading light of sunset, I wondered if Millie ever crossed the trestle at Pamet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
