Does anybody know where a detailed history of the B&M's Harvard Branch can be found? I know it was short-lived but something must be know about it. I remember as recently as the early nineties there was a bit of trackage in some brush just west of Park St. in Somerville where according to maps, the Harvard Branch began. There is a street in Cambridge that I believe is on the old ROW but I cannot remember the name of it. There is a deli on the corner of this street and Beacon St. There was once a marker on Harvard St. where the depot was but I'm not sure it's still there.
Museum Street in Somerville and Cambridge was built on the old right-of-way.
Some old sidings that may once have been the beginning of the Harvard Branch were removed in the early to mid-1990s, when the 32 Kent Street Apartments were built.
