Neo Haven: Were Allston and Beacon Park two different Boston & Albany engine terminals in Boston or were they the same engine terminal under different names?
Neo Haven: I recently had confirmed that Allston and Beacon Park were alternate names for the same engine terminal.
Skipper L Swartout: Neo Haven thank you so much for that. I know the B&M had a yard just north I forgot what they called it tho

This yard used to have two roundhouses.

B&A Beacon Park Roundhouses in this shot looks like it had one coal tower at this time.
Dennis DeBruler: Skipper L Swartout That coal trestle was probably replaced by the towers.
Skipper L Swartout: Dennis DeBruler I was thinking the same thing

Neo Haven: Dennis DeBruler The tower on the left is a sand plant for receiving, storing and drying sand used on locomotives. Large engine terminals often had separate sand facilities because of the large quantities used.
Dennis DeBruler: Neo Haven Thanks for the correction. I thought it looked rather strange for a coaling tower.

CSX has cleared the yard for redevelopment. [BrianSolomon]

But judging from a satellite image, nothing has happened.

Buth there have been some ideas.
