The Hoosac tunnel opening in 1875 spurred a sweeping program to enlarge Fitchburg lines and Boston terminals. Fitchburg expanded Somerville yards and Charlestown facilities, leased Constitution wharf, and built a sea wall and dredged Miller’s river to handle growing western freight. The project created 80 miles of side tracks, 80 acres of terminal space, and major yard revamps to support rising through traffic and passenger demand.
