The Old Train Station09 December 2012Norton, MassachusettsThere is a quaint old train station tucked besides an abandoned rail line on route 123 in Norton. It's listed as the East Norton Train Station and once serviced the Taunton Line. The station was built in 1853, and the structure is still in remarkable shape. I found a publication from 1899 that describes East Norton as follows: "East Norton is a post-office and station on the Taunton division of the railroad, where there are two grain stores, three school houses, two saw mills, and a few shops." It sounds like a typical whistle stop between major cities. The period benches and tables still lining the platform beside the ticket window show a history all there own. When the moon is right, I'm sure you can see the ghosts of old townsmen seated on this bench, smoking cigars and playing checkers. It's a charming location along what has become a busy highway.Post processing started with a brilliant cold filter in Topaz Adjust. I then adjusted adaptive exposure, protect highlights, contrast, and adaptive saturation. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
