There is no evidence of trail usage on the railroad right-of-way between Parker and Low Streets. Note also that the railroad overpass at Low street is missing, and there is no sign of a trail at that crossing. A sign was noted for a pedestrian route to downtown Newburyport, at the intersection of Parker street just east of the north entrance to the railroad station. A single track trail presumably begins at the side of the Henry Graf, Jr. Skating Rink at 28 Low Street, and continues north on the railroad right of way to the Washington Street crossing (Mapblast map). The block between Washington Street and the Merrimack Street Overpass has been transformed by neighborhood volunteers into a small park. Since the old B&M RR station was located at midpoint of this block, all historic railroad mileage figures for Newburyport apply at that point. The trail then overpasses Merrimack Street and continues on a high railroad embankment to a dead end at the Merrimack River. Note that the railroad bridge is an old-fashioned swing bridge which has been abandoned in the 'open' position. The Route 1 highway bridge is perhaps a decade or so old and is thus four lanes wide in what is otherwise a two lane highway. Thus it may be possible to block off one southbound lane of the highway bridge for trail purposes.  Future Plans  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries mike dijitals pictures Sat, Sep 26th, 2015 posted by Mike Dijital 8 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
