Looks like MA to me. Very similar in size/style to other stations on the Central Mass line of the B&M. Weston is on this line. Rails are still in place, and owned by the MBTA, but have not been used since the early 1980s. The residents of Weston (a very posh Boston suburb) succeded in keeping the line from being converted to a rail-trail a few years ago. These same residents also got the line exempted from future conversion to Commuter Rail. (Last commuter train was in the 1970s.) So the whole line sits abandoned, unused, and basically in-tact. -Ed Lecuyer |
