Along the platform for the commuter rail in North Scituate the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority) has placed signboards with snippets of railroad history on the South Shore. I photographed this reproduction of an 1859 train schedule, finding the timesfor trains going into Boston interesting. It seems like they ran a pretty tight ship 150 years ago when you compare it to today’s schedule!

Wow, that is 152 years ago! I had no idea trains were coming to the South Shore that long ago! Thanks for the post.
