High Green Episode 24: The Lexington Branch with Bill Deen
The Boston & Maine Railroad's Lexington Branch, today the world famous Minuteman Bikeway, was once one of the busiest and best known branchlines in the region. Author and historian Bill Deen of the Friends of Bedford Depot Park discusses the history of this fascinating line, and his recent book on the subject, "Minuteman Railroad".

High Green Episode 23: The Rutland Railroad with Steve and George Mumley
Part of our mission statement here at the B&MRRHS is to preserve the history of the railroads in New England that did business with the Boston & Maine Railroad. One of the better known examples was the Rutland Railroad, operating primarily in Vermont and New York State until its closure in the early 1960s. The late Steve Mumley (November 8, 1946 — January 29, 2023) knew and loved the Rutland Railroad perhaps more than anyone, and his father, George “Bud” Mumley, worked for the Rutland beginning in 1937. Thanks to Jim Dufour who loaned us this cassette recording, we hear a discussion from 1991 between Steve and George about the latter’s time on the Rutland Railroad. Topics include milk trains; the wayfreight to Malone, NY; operations between Alburgh, VT and Ogdensburg, NY; and much more.
