Trolley Line in the woods between Menden and Hopedale?

At first glance It looks like a power line r.o.w. running between Hopedale and Menden, but the r.o.w. in Menden comes to a short street named Trolley lane. It pretty much makes a straight shot to the old mills in Hopedale so could this have a short trolley line to the mills?

Yep, it's an old streetcar row.

Was it a branch of the G&U? The G&U was trolley operation until the late 40s, early 50s.

I believe the line in question was the old Milford-Uxbridge Street Railway.

Hi
Here is a map of the Milford & Uxbridge trolley line, I did crop out quite a bit ,of the map , Pat.

Wasn't the line owned/operated by the New Haven? Reason I ask, is I have 2 station telephone boxes, one is marked NHRR, the other M&U.

Hi Joe
Sorry but No, this was one trolley line that the New Haven RR did not have control of , the trolley line gave up operation in 1920 with the coming of the automobile and paved roads. If you go to the link that was posted by Steve dealing with Hopedale you can read about it , Pat.
