The Yarmouthport Train Station (also known as Yarmouth) was located on the Willow Street in Yarmouthport, Massachusetts at the junction of the branch to Hyannis. It was originally part of the Cape Cod Railroad, and later part of the Old Colony Railroad after 1872. In 1893, it became part of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad system.
The station was torn down after rail service to Cape Cod ended.
Famous quotes containing the words train and/or station:
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
