    "As one approached Boston Terminal (South Station) from the South on the former Old Colony Mainline, all inbound and outbound trains had to cross one of the 3 Rolling Lift Bridges that spanned the South Bay Channel. These bridges, which took 2 years to build carried untold amount of passengers & trains during their 87 year lifetime.

    "The driving force to build Boston Terminal (South Station's Real Name) back in 1894 required the co-operation & consolidation of 4 Railroads: The New England Railroad (NY&NE), The Boston & Providence Railroad (B&P), the Old Colony Railroad (OCRR), and the Boston & Albany Railroad (B&A) to all share 1 common railroad terminal instead of being spread out all over Boston. In order to do this, the planners needed to accommodate the approach tracks for these 4 railroads & funnel them all into the South Station yards & platforms."

    Read more about this bridge in this fascinating blog, The Rolling Lift Bridge by John Sheridan.

    The Library of Congress has a collection of 47 amazing photographs of the Fort Point Channel Rolling Lift Bridge in their collection, including several detail views that no ordinary person would ever have the chance to see in person.

    Old Colony Railroad Bridge
    "When the bridges were torn-down in the 1980s, plans were created to preserve the memory of the bridges that kept traffic moving for over 85 years. If you are coming to South Station on any of the Old Colony tracks, look to the right as the train is crossing the remains of Fort Point Channel. There you will see, painted bright red is a piece of the original bridge - still watching passengers cross the channel." – John Sheridan, "The Rolling Lift Bridge"

    [Aside] Interesting article about 'The Lady of the House' - irishmediahistory.com/2015/09/29/lady-of-the-house-1890-1...

    That's the 4th 14th May 1904 edition
    Lady of the House - Saturday 14 May 1904

    We've previously seen the same publication, if not the same edition, used as a prop.

    Edit: It was the 15th April 1905 edition which we've seen before. Uncharacteristic of Pole not to reuse a prop. Perhaps the 4th May 1904 edition had disintegrated my then.

    John Spooner Printed on good quality paper to still be in decent condition, having been in prop use for 5-ish months.
