When I was searching for “historic train stations near me” Google provided me with a map of several. I clicked on the ones close to my route to Burlington, Massachusetts (MA) and copied the address of four. I sent the addresses to myself in an email. Then, once in my car (not moving), I could open the email, click on an address and have my GPS take me there. Easy peasy.
Except…
Google highlighted a very old railroad depot in Newton, MA but neglected to point out a historic railroad district in the same town that I think has several historic railroad buildings. Opportunity lost but not forever. I’ll be back in Newton later this year.
The depot, presumably a freight depot, seems to be in an odd place. First off, it’s on a hill. Train stations are usually on level ground. Second, it’s next to a rather large church that was built in 1870. I looked for some information, but I didn’t come up with much.
Today’s gallery includes a few photos of that depot, as well as some interesting doors in and around Newton and Waltham, MA. I might be done with doors from this trip, but I might have a few leftovers. I’ll have to see if I get out to gather new doors before next Thursday. If you’re doing the math and are thinking, Worcester, Newton, Waltham—where’s the fourth train station? It was Bedford Depot, which is now a park. I checked and I was there in October 2019.

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
