Being known for a railroading hotspot, Palmer is a busy crossroads for three railroads, just minutes east of Springfield. Spending an afternoon in Palmer will allow you to see CSX, Amtrak, New England Central, and MassCentral if you're lucky. The best spot to watch is at the old station, which just happens to be a great restaurant, the Steaming Tender.
