The PnB REA is named after the Pepperell And Brookline Railroad (actually it was the Brookline and Pepperell RR )which was a Boston and Maine subsidiary before its demise back in the mid 30’s. The Brookline and Pepperell railroad ran through Pepperell parallel to Pleasant St. The REA stands for Railroad Enthusiast Association, and is a group of fellow model railroaders, railfans, railroad enthusiasts and railroad employees. The PnB group is currently constructing a model railroad layout which is named the Cheat River Railroad. Cheat River RR is a subsidiary of Kennebec Valley Industries.
