One of the last remaining pieces of evidence of the old Boston and Providence Railroad's granite embankment wall near Mindoro Street, Roxbury Crossing. Inherited by the New Haven, for many years trains rode above street level through here, as they passed through the City of Boston, heading towards Providence, Rhode Island and beyond. The spot is near the former Roxbury station. Now, MBTA and Amtrak use the route, now depressed below street level, through the Northeast Corridor.
