Viewing Album:  MBTA: Needham Heights, Newton Center, and Newton Highlands
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:5/26/2016 - 5/27/2016
Album Info:While I was in Massachusetts during my Amtrak trip, I took advantage of the high density of train stations and got photos at three different ones-Needham Heights, Newton Center, and Newton Highlands. The Needham one is just a platform, but the Newton ones are significant because they still have their station buildings, dating back to the days when the Green Line was still the Boston & Albany Railroad. Enjoy viewing!
