Also found this interesting. The Dockyard, with slummy housing on a narrow Barrington St above, and look at that huge rail ROW. What an opportunity missed:



That rail right of way was a hold over from the north street station. The original deep water piers were located next to the casino. They have been reconstructed but still exist as Jetty nb and nc. That rail extended past the North station and went onto the piers. The piers were transfered in a land swap with the navy in the mid 1960's.
