This was the main freight rail yard and intermodal terminal for Boston, operated by CSX. The land it and the Mass. Pike interchange sits on is actually owned by Harvard. It has since been closed, with plans by the MBTA to put in a station, restore double track through the yard, and add a small layover yard in the remaining space, with MassDOT looking to change the MassPike alignment through the area to reduce the bottleneck.
