Beverly Depot is a passenger rail station on MBTA Commuter Rail's Newburyport/Rockport Line, serving as the junction between the line's branches to Newburyport and Rockport. Beverly Depot is one of five such stations in the city of Beverly, Massachusetts, USA, and is located on the western edge of downtown Beverly. Beverly Depot is served by every train from both branches of the Newburyport/Rockport Line as well as several short turn runs, for as many as 30 departures to Boston on weekdays. This is the most frequent inbound service from any MBTA Commuter Rail station save Anderson RTC. By a 2013 count, Beverly Depot had the third highest inbound ridership on the system (behind only Providence and Salem) with 2,058 inbound riders on a typical weekday. A 500-space parking garage at Beverly opened on August 2, 2014. ==History== The current Beverly Depot is this third station to serve Beverly. The first station, opened in 1839, was located next to the Essex Bridge; its 1855 replacement was a larger wooden building with a train shed at the modern site. The train shed was torn down for the 1897 construction of the Bradford Lee Gilbert station that still stands. A copy was built ten years later at Andover. The ticket office closed in 1965 with passenger traffic in free fall as the newly formed MBTA began to subsidize service to Beverly. The station was sold soon after; it partially burned on February 15, 1971, but was renovated and reopened as a restaurant by that December.〔 It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MACRIS inventory record for Bevery Depot )〕 The modern station facilities, located adjacent to the depot building, consist of two platforms serving the line's two tracks. Short high-level platforms are located on the outbound end of the longer low-level platforms, making the station fully handicapped accessible. On November 16, 1984, the Beverly Bridge, which carried the line between Salem and Beverly, was destroyed by a fire. For 13 months, Beverly was the connection point between a Salem-Beverly-Ipswich shuttle bus and a Beverly-Rockport shuttle train. Regular service over a new bridge was restored on December 1, 1985. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beverly Depot (MBTA station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
