Description: Ye-Olde Photos Collection - Hyde Park, Massachusetts Railroad Station in the greater Boston area. "View of Hyde Park. R.R. Station taken from centre of tracks directly across from Dana Avenue facing River Street Bridge - Hyde Park, April 16, 1952" The Boston & Providence Railroad was acquired by the Old Colony Railroad in 1888, which in turn became part of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1893. On October 24, 1895, the 4:15 pm train from Providence rear-ended the 5:18 pm local train from Sharon at Hyde Park at approximately 5:30 pm. The cause of the wreck was uncertain but may have been faulty signals.[10] The engine of the Providence-originating train was driven halfway through the trailing passenger car of the Sharon train, killing two people and injuring over twenty more. Among the injured were several members of a wedding party. The New Haven built a large overhead station building adjacent to River Street around 1913, replacing the earlier depot. The station was similar to other stations built by the railroad in and around New York City, rather than to geographically nearer stations. The overhead station structure was demolished during the 1970s, leaving just staircases from River Street leading to bare platforms to serve passengers. The NYNH&H folded into Penn Central in 1969, who sold the line and station to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) in 1973. Conrail took over Penn Central in 1976 and the Boston & Maine Railroad was contracted to operate the southside commuter lines starting in March 1977, thus marking the sixth operator to run trains to Hyde Park.
