When was the last service on the Ayer - Greenville, Nh. Branch? I remember seeing a small freight plodding across Rte 119 back in probably the late 50's or early 60's (one of my "early memories"). Was this line ever more than marginally profitable? Seems like they just "walked away" from it in Townsend as a lot of the iron was left intact, especially in the Townsend Harbor area.
