Boston and Maine Station (1931)

In 1931 the Boston & Maine Railroad completed and opened their new station on the south side of the river, approximately a 1/4 mile west of the former Andover St. Station first opened by the Lowell and Lawrence RR in 1848. That same year they closed the Essex St. Grand depot of the former Manchester and Lawrence line and the station built by the Boston and Lowell in the Opera House also on Essex St. As part of the construction, Parker Street at the crossing and its immediate area was excavated, re-routed and lowered at the crossing to pass under the tracks. It's intersection with Merrimack was moved east to continue north across the canal and the Central Bridge. Passengers used to reach the platform from the station via an underpass. This station is now a commercial building that no longer serves trains.
E.G.C., I might add, though somewhat dyslexic-ally, stands for Grade Crossing Elimination.
