The MBTA commuter lot was once the site of a 12 stall round-house with large coal bunker & water tower. All long gone but photos live on. Perhaps, the next book or Rotary Club calendar with show some of Salem long gone transportation facilities. Remember the seaplanes or helicopters at the long gone Salem Coast Guard Air Station at Winter Island. The Mason St street car garage ?

You're right about the perspective aspect about the photos, but only a photo snob would notice! Great book. The photo of the old train depot is fantastic!
