Doesn't look like that's a "standard" source projection, so I think you'll have
to explicitly define the proj parameters for gdalwarp.

e.g.

gdalwarp -s_srs '+proj=tmerc +lat_0=41.65 +lon_0=-70.316667 +datum=NAD83' -t_srs EPSG:4326 <input>.tif <output>.tif

I think you'll also need a couple more parameters: +k, +x_0, and +y_0.

You'll want to look at the proj reference, available at http://proj.maptools.org/
