Doing a hike up to Perins Peak the other day and stumbled upon the original route for the Boston Coal & Fuel Railroad. The old path is seldom walked and overgrown in many areas, I saw no footprints along the way. The railroad was dismantled in 1927 after the mine closed. The established trail to Perins Peak follows the old route for a while before splitting off and heading to the mine.

Walking to Vince's Cross at Hut Point
Outline of a seal in the snow
"We have felt that our last act before leaving the region which has been our home for so long should be one of homage to the shipmate who sacrificed his life to our work. We have had a large wooden cross prepared for some time; it bears a simple carved inscription to the memory of poor Vince, and yesterday it was erected on the summit of Hut Point, so firmly that I think in this undecaying climate it will stand for centuries." Robert Falcon Scott, February 16th, 1904
