"Work has started on the rail trail extension between Grove Street and Union Street in Franklin. Workers have started the process of removing the rail infrastructure that is currently in place. 

Once all the rail infrastructure has been removed, then the work can being on creating the trail. While it is exciting to see this work underway, it will still be some time before all the trail work is completed."
