The Wrentham Station
Title:  The Wrentham Station
Description:  Part of my negative colection. The 3rd station in Valley Falls. This station's on the Wrentham Railroad. Valley freight would be just to your right, and Valley passenger just to your left. Your at the intersection of High, Railroad and Titus Streets, and from the angle of this photo, it was probably taken from the 2nd floor of the house that's still standing today. Check out those "modern" ball signals.
