The Shawmut Branch Railroad, owned by the Old Colony Railroad opened between Harrison Square and Milton Lower Mills on December 4, 1872.[2] One of four intermediate stations was Cedar Grove, built to serve the recently opened Cedar Grove cemetery.[3] The station building was similar to that at Shawmut, though the doors and windows were located differently.[4] The station agent died of rabies in November 1908 after being bitten by a dog which had found its way into the station. Passenger service on the Shawmut Branch ended on September 4, 1926, for conversion of the line to rapid transit. The first segment of the Mattapan Line, a "high-speed" streetcar line, opened between Ashmont and Milton on August 26, 1929, with Cedar Grove as an intermediate station.[6] The line was closed for renovations from June 24, 2006, to December 22, 2007. During the closure, all stations on the line were modernized and (except for Valley Road) made accessible. Cedar Grove station received new platforms and canopies, with wooden ramps for accessibility. The MBTA plans to convert the line to modern light rail equipment. All stations would have raised platforms for level boarding on the new vehicles; Cedar Grove and three other stations would be converted to island platforms. Construction cost for Cedar Grove station was estimated as $6.8 million in 2023. The image is a Type 1 photo and is sure to impress anyone who sees it. It is a great piece of history and would make a wonderful conversation starter. This photograph is perfect for collectors or anyone who appreciates the beauty of vintage transportation memorabilia.
