Boston and Providence Station Closures

  by madcrow
 
During various points in time, there appear to have been quite a few stations along the B&P/NH main line in the Boston area that are long since gone. The only one that I have difinitive dates for is "Mount Hope" which was closed for good when the line was shut down for rebuilding in 1979 and never reopened when upgrades were finished. I'm especially interested in when Clarendon Hills (which would have been the nearest to my house) would have closed. So far the only clue I can find is that it still appears on a 1915 track map that I found online.

Forest Hills closed in 1940 (per this document) and reopened in June 1973 shortly after the MBTA purchased the lines. 1940 would be a reasonable guess for the stations north of there (all at modern Orange Line locations) but Clarendon Hills and Hazelwood are a trickier puzzle.
