Boston, MA: North Station

(Satellite)

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.

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.
