Description:
Currently one mile, the Salisbury Point Ghost Trail provides a peaceful walk through the woods. It is one part of a larger proposed network of rail-trails linking the coastal towns of Amesbury, Salisbury, Newburyport and Newbury. Sharing railroad history with the Amesbury Riverwalk, the Salisbury Point Ghost Trail received its "spooky" title because the train cars transported carriages and early auto bodies covered with white muslin shrouds. The trains passed through Salisbury with their "ghostly" freight on their way to Boston, Detroit, and New York
Passenger service was also popular on the Salisbury rail line. Passengers could travel throughout New England or even make a transcontinental journey from Salisbury. In 1936 passenger service was discontinued because of automobile use.
