Wayland Student Press Network 11/30/15: Plan to build bike path on Wayland Rail Trail put into action. For the past 15 years, Wayland resident Larry Kiernan has been working to build a bike path on the three mile section of the Wayland Rail Trail. Kiernan is the Wayland Rail Trail representative that is in charge of the three mile long Wayland portion of the 107 mile long Rail Trail. The tracks were a privately owned rail for about 60 to 70 years that stopped running trains in the mid 70s.
