The following railroad mileage chart also serves as a table of contents for the detailed rail-trail information and associated pictures. Each page begins with the historic name of the former railroad station, and continues with available information about the trail on either side of that railroad station, to a point roughly half-way to the next railroad station.

* = Railroad Miles from Ayer
Svc.: (in 1923) T=Telegraph, F=Freight Accounts, P=Passenger tickets
Italics = beyond the limits of the current Rail-trail proposal
Dark face = Depot presumably present in 1923

Text and map from a brochure published in 1998 outlining plans to pave the rail-trail between Heywood and Winchendon.
