When I went to go check it out, I found that the road I had planned to take to get there had been replaced by some boat club and I could not get through, leading me to go all the way around to park in an obscure turn around location and walk down a good distance of the tracks where I found a diverging abandoned set of tracks that ran straight into the woods, but no trains whatsoever throughout its distance to its termination. I even compared the location I was in with where the train cars were supposed to be via Google Earth, and it seemed that they had been taken away and some buildings around me erected.
It was a disappointment as I had to walk all the way back, defeated, but at least I can spread the word to other explorers that it's not worth the trip.
I did get a picture of the tracks as I was walking back, though:
I know this is years later, but it sounds like the cars were removed sometime between 2011 and 2014. I remember exploring them in high school, they were really cool. Most of the windows were gone and they were covered in graffiti, people had clearly lived in them on and off over the years, and there was a bunch of papers and documents from the 1980s, probably from around the time they were abandoned. Weirdly enough, I remember them being RIPTA/RIDOT cars, but there is no mention of there ever being rail service offered by either organization. Sad to hear that they are gone.
