The Site Of Lower Station Today

Looking south on the former trolley line toward Mountain Park.

This is about where the loading platform was located.

Part of the incline railway bed looking east toward the Lower Station site.

Looking north towards the old Northampton trolley barn and the Mt. Tom Quarry.

The incline railway bed and car barn area.

You can see the incline railway bed through the trees, the railway along with the third summit house was sold for scrap in the early forties, the road is now used by WGGB for it's transmitters on top of the mountain.

Beautiful blogging weather. I almost headed up to Mt Tom today, but had other things to do in the downtown. See you on the mountain Lenny.

Hello VanDog,
I talked to Bill Finn today and said it would be nice if all of us got together for a nice hike up the mountain,
i'll talk to Glenn and Brian about setting a date,
we'll be in touch.

A big group would be fun. Make it a Sunday afternoon so I can bring along a friend or two.
