Downeaster at the old Lawrence platform (1)

This is an abandoned platform -- commuter rail trains have not stopped here for 6 or 7 years.

 

Someone working at the adjacent industrial plant saw me on this platform and called me over to ask if I was waiting for the train to Boston. He said "a lot of people forget" that the station moved down the street. I said I was just taking pictures and I know this platform isn't in use. He still seemed uneasy and told me to "be careful of predators." I said something dismissive about it being daytime, but he didn't want to let it drop -- "Yeah but, all the same ... you never know, around here."
