South: (Satellite, 870 photos)
When I noticed the expressway on the 1956 topo map instead of the drawbridge I see in the aerial photo, I checked out the earlier available topo maps. Comparing this topo to a satellite image, it appears the dam has moved downriver, but I'll have to investigate that some other day.

One advantage of depots in the big cities is that at least some of them survive as commuter stations. And part of a railyard survives as the MBTA Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility.

| Niel Fenn Davis posted Boston's South Station what a very busy place it most have been, the Boston and Albany and the NYNH&H Railroad used this Station. Hal Curette: Was there ever any connection to North Station? Made no sense back when? Niel Fenn Davis: Hal Curette no connection between North and South Stations , North Station belonged to the B&M , both the NYNHH and the B&A interchanged at other places with the B&M. |
