I found two maps, from 1904 and 1908, referencing a Middlesex Fells Station on the B&M's Western Route. This is the first I've ever heard of such a station or of a station at this location and a Google search does not bring up any relevant results. The location is at the former Goodyear Ave (Stone Pl/Banks Pl) crossing, between Oak Grove and Wyoming. Did passenger trains actually stop here, perhaps seasonally as a retreat from the city? Two blocks west on Goodyear Ave, you'd reach the trailhead for the Cross Fells Trail. I'm also wondering if it was added to the map erroneously and it was maybe just a freight depot.
