Viewing Album:  Summer Afternoon at Needham Junction
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:6/10/2015 - 6/10/2015
Album Info:I was in Massachusetts for my birthday last year, so I spent the evening at the Needham Junction station on the MBTA's Needham line. Unlike some of the stations on the route, this one features a historic station building still maintained. As the name implies, this station marks the junction between the New Haven's main line and Charles River Branch. Coming during peak traffic, I was able to see three trains in less than an hour!

Tracks at Needham Junction
Title:  Tracks at Needham Junction
Description:  This part of the Needham Line is single-tracked, but it wasn't always that way! Back in the day, there were several sidings at the junction. This double-bridge serves as a trace of those busier times.
