Geocache Description:

A short walk along abandoned rail tracks

The term 'Usual Suspects' was coined during an event to honor Waldenrun's 1000th find, several cachers had gathered in for a photo op and WR suggested this photo could be titled the 'Usual Suspects' as it was made up of folks that usually hit a cache on it's opening day.

MrEdden offered up the following history about the general location:
It was originally built as the Fitchburg & Worcester in 1850. It ran from Fitchburg to Pratts Jct (Which I think is now under or very close to the I-190/Rte 12 exit), to Sterling Junction on the Worcester & Nashua RR. The line between Sterling Jct. and Sterling was abandoned in 1937, The line between Pratts Jct. and Sterling was abandoned in 1962. It was part of the New Haven RR. Part of the line is still used to access freight customers in Leominster by trains from Framingham.
