Railroad yards
Readville station is bounded by three railroad yards, an MBTA commuter rail maintenance facility and layover yard east of the station, Readville 1-Yard, an active CSX freight yard south of the station and the Readville 5-Yard, west of the station.[1] The 42-acre 5-Yard is split between Boston and Dedham, Massachusetts and was formerly owned and used by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, which had shops on the site until 1958, the Penn Central Railroad, Conrail, and Amtrak. As of 2010, the MBTA owns the yard, uses it to store railroad-related materials and is remediating the site for environmental contamination.[2][3]
