West Fitchburg, looking westbound

Off of Rte 31 near where the new \\\"T\\\" station is. Amazing the transformation from back in the late 1990s. I wondered if the railroad would survive, it looked awful weedchocked, trains stuggling more than usual up the hill towards Gardener...

Nice shot Karl. I have quite a few shots of this area, as I dig them out I’ll be adding more to this site. Hope you have some more. Great old RR buildings.

While you gentlemen are at it, do you have any good photos of the coal dock that was there apparently into the 90's?

I don’t have any but maybe Bruce Nelson or Ken Patton have some.
