New Haven Blocks Freeman Street At Dorchester Crossing
Field's Corner residents face fever over the New Haven railroad blocking Freeman Street at the grade crossing with a large wooden building. Access to the Field's Corner station is cut, forcing a quarter mile detour and extending train catching time. Geneva Avenue and Vinson Street passengers protest as the old boardwalk to the south is closed. A wooden shanty at Charles Street and a cross board fence at Faulkner Street warn against trespassing during grade crossing elimination.
