Viewing Album:  Boston and New England Railroads in the 1950s and 1960s
 
By:Lewis Schneider
Dates:1/1/1955 - 12/31/1960
Album Info:When I was a student at Harvard I had very little time to chase trains. But, every once in awhile I'd be down at North Station or ride a fan trip such as the final run of B&M 3713 on April 22, 1956. Enjoy
