Mention of the Revere section needs an update. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.110.160.80 (talk) 16:31, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Not just a Rail Trail
FYI there are portions of the overall Trail which are not on the RoW of the railroad. I believe I've just done a reasonable job of making that clear, but I'm open to suggestions!

 * There's hardly a rail trail out there that doesn't have some off-railroad-ROW portions. I think it's reasonable to call it a rail trail - greater than 80% of the final mileage will be on railroad bed - and just note that the planned extension is over streets.

"Link to" taken to mean "extend" in context of Swampscott 2020
In the case of the Swampscott "linear park which will link to the Northern Strand" I feel that it's reasonable to include this here until / unless that Swampscott extension is shown to be named differently.

Citation found for Swampscott
Swampscott does indeed have a Northern Strand section, which is to be linked to Lynn. Added ref just now, from Boston MPO North Shore Task Force.

 * Great, thanks for that! I wasn't aware that the trail on the Marblehead Branch would be considered part of the Northern Strand. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:27, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * To be fair... I suppose Swampscott could decide to name it something other than Northern Strand, but in my searching just now I couldn't find anything that conclusively or even indirectly said that they will, and that document from the MPO I believe can be considered authoritative at least until/unless something else is uncovered.
