Which Station Was at Charles Ro in Malden MA?

Interesting, never seen this info anywhere. I suppose this explains the hopper down by where Rowe quarry is? I could never figure out why it was there. I was thinking for Rowe, butI couldn't think of why they would need to dump sand/gravel at a place where it is excavated.

where is there a hopper @ the quarry?

Something went all the way through from West Lynn to beyond Linden in the early 00's. All the crossings had
flange grooves but, I didn't see what it was. Could have been anything with flanged wheels.
I thought at the time it was some sort of demonstration/test connected with work that was done shortly
before.

It's not actually "at" the quarry. It's just south of the pond they made across the street from where the quarry was.

hmm. i dont see it on bing. maybe it's not there anymore.

Perhaps I'm just using incorrect terminology... which I happen to do, alot...

That link should center on it. The cut out right under the tracks where a truck could back in and under.
