I have a lot of connections to this story - I lived in Hanson, Mass for about 8 years, in the heart of cranberry country. I did some work for a sand and gravel company in Carver in the mid to late 80s, I wonder if it was the one this story mentioned. And I now live in the town where Edaville got most of it’s rolling stock, as a matter of fact I just bought a piece of land that includes about 300 feet of the old narrow gauge railroad bed.
I though that area was “God’s Country” until I moved up in the woods in Maine. Boy, this is God’s Country.
I forgot all about the Edaville Railroad!!! Of course, it has been half a century or more :)
I bet!
