Remarks & Notes

Boston & Maine SW8 805 was working hump duty at the railroad's Boston freight terminal on an early spring afternoon when it paused for a moment outside the hump control tower at Mystic Junction in Somerville. This scene has completely vanished today and only a couple tracks remain from the once busy yard.
