The abandoned right-of-way of the old Lee-Huntington, Mass., trolley line at Lee, Mass., known locally as the 'Huckleberry' line. The line was constructed through the hilltowns at great expense in 1911-1912, and operated on and off until service was suspened in 1919. The track was removed in 1923. I am told that the line never made a profit, and saw more farmers and chickens than it did passengers. Passengers would get off and pick 'huckleberrys' along the line. Segments of the abandoned line can still be seen clearly on either side of the Mass. Turnpike today in the vicinity of Becket and Lee, Mass. Photo by John Bazan.
