The same architect designed the stations in Portland and Worcester and unfortunately they have suffered the same regretful fate

Union Station in Worcester, MA is still very much in operation. Was there another station in Worcester or are you talking about another Worcester

You're right Lon, I worded the sentence incorrectly, Portland Union Station and Concord were the ones torn down in the sixties.

I know for a fact the old train station in Worcester is still operating and restored. My cousin Frank Noel owned it some time in the 1980s or 1990s.

What a beautiful building. I'm glad they didn't tear it down like they have so many.
