B.R.B.& L. Railroad
The Old Narrow Gauge
The following are old postcard views of the Boston, Revere
Beach, and Lynn Railroad. The railroad operated from the 1870s
to the 1930s. The B.R.B.&.L. Boston depot was located at Rowes
Wharf. Tickets were purchased there and passengers would
board a ferry to East Boston. From East Boston, steam trains,
and then later electrified coaches, would take passengers to Revere
Beach or Lynn. A spur line or "loop" through Winthrop was also
available as a service. Much of
the present day Blue Line travels along the old steam railroad
right-of-way.
