            This is the Boston & Albany Main Line looking West from Union Station at Springfield, Massachusetts, ca 1920's.  The B&A center tracks head to the West across the Connecticut River Bridge, which eventailly reach via Pittsfield, Albany. New York.  The tracks that turn off to the right head North on the Boston & Maine line.  The tracks near the bridge that turn off to the left becomes the New Haven Railroad's Springfield Line via Windsor, Hartford, Berlin, Meriden, Walingford to New Haven, Connecticut.  There is a signal Station (Tower) situated over the left side of the signal bridge seen in the background.  The Springfield Union Station has been restored and refurbished with a portion of it being used by Amtrak and the Hartford Line today.  Click your mouse directly on the photo a couple of times to see much detail in this photo.  You can see a New Haven Railroad steam locomotive near the water tower, signal station and signal bridge, and also some interesting store fronts.
