South Shore Railroad

Along the platform for the commuter rail in North Scituate the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority) has placed signboards with snippets of railroad history on the South Shore. I photographed this reproduction of an 1859 train schedule, finding the timesfor trains going into Boston interesting. It seems like they ran a pretty tight ship 150 years ago when you compare it to today's schedule!

  1. Wow, that is 152 years ago! I had no idea trains were coming to the South Shore that long ago! Thanks for the post.
