Old Boston going new

An aerial photograph of the Boston Extension of the Massachusetts Turnpike in the New York Central Railroad employee magazine Headlights, February 1965. The New York Central is long dead. In the era of the photo, it was providing deteriorating passenger service, which later was provided by its successor company, the Penn Central (created by merging the New York Central and the Pennsylvania Railroad) taken over by Amtrak in the early ‘70s.
