In this classic scene circa 1907, we see the busy trackage at Wakefield Junction, MA. The Boston & Maine Railroad leased two smaller lines, the Newburyport Railroad in 1853 (abandoned in 1941) and the Danvers Railroad in 1860. These two routes served the station, formerly located at Main St. and North Ave., and provided access to Boston from this area of Massachusetts via commuter trains like the one pictured above.
