Hi, there doesn’t seem to be much info on the Union Freight Railroad that ran on the streets of Boston between North and South stations. I am going to order the Railroad that Came out at Night book.
-Any remnants of this line or the spurs? What about the connections to the outside world? Was the rail all removed or paved over in spots? I found one track map online showing numerous spurs onto Commercial Wharft and the area near present day Columbus Park. I have seen the rail still in place on both sides of the Fort Point Railroad bridge, was this Union Freight?
-Are there maps showing all the lines and spurs?
-Did service gradually decline at the end or was it stopped suddenly for another reason?
