I just thought you’d all enjoy this. Lots of photos from before 1900 there for you all to enjoy!

FYI This photo is from South Station in Boston when it had the largest train shed in the world. Sadly it was removed in 1930 due to corrosion. Today South Station is also only about a 3rd of the size it was then. Still a much better fate than Penn Station in NYC.
