The former rail line once ran between downtown Boston to Union Station in Northampton. After the tracks were largely destroyed by a hurricane in 1938, the 104-mile rail line is now used in many places for recreational purposes and as a park.

Road cycling

This section of the Mass Central Rail Trail (MCRT) runs for three miles through Weston, and is part of a planned 25-mile trail stretching from Berlin to Waltham. The trail is accessible from Church Street, Town House Road, and Concord Road, here. The trail is a multi-use path that allows bicycles, joggers, walkers, dogs, and horseback riders. Dogs must be leashed on the trail, and all users should yield to horses. Unfortunately there are no garbage cans along the trail, so users should take their trash with them to help keep this great recreational resource clean.
