From Wikipedia

The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail (BFRT) is a partly completed rail trail in Massachusetts. The path is a 10-foot-wide (3.0 m) paved multi-use trail, available for walking, running, biking, rollerblading, and other non-motorized uses. It follows the right-of-way of the abandoned Framingham and Lowell Line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. The constructed route connects with the Bay Circuit Trail, and Phase 2D connects with the Mass Central Rail Trail—Wayside. The total planned length of the trail—which will eventually run from Lowell to Framingham—is just under 25 miles (40 km).
