Bruce, is this coming out of the Needham Industrial Park the heading for Newton Upper Falls?

@Joe Minahan yes, the railing of this particular bridge faces the NW side, so thus this job is exiting the Needham Industrial Park and Needham proper and is about to step into Newton Upper Falls and cross Christina Street.

John, thanks! My father worked in the area for years by the old Upper Falls Station. The bridge looked familiar because he crossed that part of the line everyday going to and from work.
