SNETT trail adds steps to/from Prospect St

"There is something new on the rail trail this fall! 

At the west end of the Prospect Street tunnel in Franklin, a Student Conservation Association crew has started to install box steps where visitors have been accessing the SNETT from Prospect St. 

These are being installed as part of their training. Once the training is completed, a crew will spend several weeks finishing the steps. 

Thank you to the MA DCR team!"
