G&U Track build out to Milford - 5/5/20

As of Cinqo de Mayo 2020, G&U's First Colony Group construction team has begun RoW grading work at Milford where connection will be made to the currently unused CSX Milford branch. At upper left is the north view from the S Cedar St crossing toward the barely visible re-located switch near Depot St while the upper right is the south view showing grader and front loader moving dirt and debris. Lower left is the west view of newly laid track at the rte 140 crossing in Milford heading toward the not yet completed Greene St crossing at Hopedale (lower right view).

I was there a couple of days later and a little mystified at the way they are foing things. They stopped about 25 feet from Green Street and began working from 140.

Any idea if the Milford branch to Franklin will be used again?

I found out today the reason they haven't connected the last short length to Green Street is that they need an adapter for two weight rails. They buy the rail used. Delivery backed up, so they are just working around it.
