Viewing Album:  MBTA: Needham Heights, Sharon, Walpole, and Pawtucket
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:7/13/2017 - 7/15/2017
Album Info:The MBTA has a lot of routes, each with a lot of stations. As a result, there are tons of great places to watch trains up and down the various lines! This album contains pictures from three of the stations, as well as a shot of one I happened to catch while heading through Rhode Island. You'll notice some neat architecture in the historic Sharon and Walpole stations. Enjoy viewing!

MBTA 2019
Title:  MBTA 2019
Description:  Viewed from the Hunnewell Street Bridge. Needham Heights is the last stop on the line; though the tracks continue on, they are abandoned past this point. Do not expect the line to reopen anytime soon, as the bridge over Interstate 95 was recently removed.
