About this episode

This episode explores the history and significance of the Narragansett Pier Railroad in Rhode Island.

Before it became the South County Bike Path, this quiet trail was the Narragansett Pier Railroad, a vital 19th-century line that fueled Rhode Island’s mills, carried seaside tourists, and left a hidden legacy still visible today.
