Just south of Savin Hill Station, alongside the Southeast Expressway, there are railroad ties that seem to have been built to form a siding off the Middleborough Main Line, and begin to descend below the level of the Middleborough Main once the ties are completely separate. The ties end just before crossing under the Red Line Ashmont Branch. Were these tracks originally supposed to be a siding or spur to serve a certain area west of the tracks, but was abandoned while being constructed? If so why were they abandoned?
