Massachusetts i/ˌmæsəˈtʃuːsᵻts/, officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is a state in the New England region of the Northeastern United States. It is bordered by Rhode Island and Connecticut to the south, New York to the west, Vermont and New Hampshire to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Massachusetts is the 7th smallest state by land area, but the 15th most populous and the 3rd most densely populated of the 50 states. With an estimated 6.8 million residents in 2015, it is the most populous of the six New England states and has the nation's sixth highest GDP per capita. The capital of Massachusetts, as well as the state's largest city, is Boston. The state features four separate metropolitan statistical areas: the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy metropolitan area in the east, the Worcester metropolitan area in the center, the Springfield metropolitan area in the west, and the Barnstable metropolitan area in the southeast. Over 80% of Massachusetts' population currently lives in the Greater Boston Combined Statistical Area.
Ayer is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. Originally part of Groton, it was incorporated February 14, 1871 and became a major commercial railroad junction. The town was home to Camp Stevens, a training camp for Massachusetts volunteers during the American Civil War. Later, Fort Devens was established by the federal government to train New England soldiers for World War I. Fort Devens was a major influence in the area until its closure in 1994. The town's population was 7,427 at the 2010 census.
For geographic and demographic information on specific parts of the town of Ayer, please see the articles on Ayer (CDP) and Devens, Massachusetts.
Ayer's history dates back to 1667, when the first mill in the agricultural community was built. The settlement sits on what the Nipmuc Indians called Nainacocius. A brook remains with that name. Originally part of Groton, the community was initially called Groton Junction or South Groton. The town of Ayer was incorporated in 1871, and was named in honor of Dr. James Cook Ayer, a prominent resident of Lowell who provided the funding for the construction of the Town Hall.

On 1-4-13, a MBTA detour extra heads east at Groton-Harvard Rd. in Ayer,MA. These detour trains were operated due to emergency repairs on the Grand Junction branch. This days move was the only move to be led by Amtrak equipment.
When I was 13, Uncle John in Indiana sent me a Super 8 movie camera. I decided to venture out and get a closer look at the B&M;. I found a big hole in the fence at Fort Devens (near the freight yard on the branch that headed south) to get this Army Brat and his bananna-seated, purple bicycle through. That gave me a shortcut (that no doubt was used by GI's) wiithout going out the back gate. Up until then, I could only intently view the B&M; from the school bus or from the window of our family station wagon.The passenger station that sat near the tower had been razed and had a USO on the same property. I ventured in the tower once only to be told I could not be there. It wasn't like back in Indiana. Most of the activity was on the east-west mainline. And though the B&M; was bankrupt, it was ...

Date: March 26, 2013; Taken with an iPhone 4S This particular loaded coal train originally had NS 8102, the Pennsylvania Railroad heritage unit on it, at least as far as Ayer, Massachusetts. It was cut off and sent to Worcester, MA for the Providence and Worcester's semi-private expo and left the coal train with only two locomotives. When it finally arrived in New Hampshire, I was surprised to find that one of the Helm Leasing SD40-2s currently on lease by Pan Am had been put on, but I sure wasn't complaining! I grew up watching Conrail SD40-2s, SD50s and C36-7s on these very rails, and this SD40-2, now considered rare on the Northern Mainline was a welcome break from the constant stream of wide-cab EMDs and GEs. 1456: I originally intended to catch the train at Winston Street, but by t...

Yesterday i had a chance to railfan the eastern part of Massachusetts for the first time. I spent most of the day in Ayer. Got there at about 5:30am and a few minutes later, the local came in with an NS unit. As the sun came up, i was greeted with an MBTA train and westbound train POED comes into the picture with a Union Pacific SD70 ACe leading. After a few more commuter trains, POSE makes his way off of the Worcester Main. The last 2 trains i saw that went through Ayer were a westbound commuter and then the MBTA Test Train which was a nice catch. Next stop was Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. Now mind you, i'm used to seeing only Amtrak's Lakeshore Limited that does only 60mph. Decent amount of action at the Attleboro station. Heading back to Western Massachusetts, we make a stop at the Stea...
