i didn’t think i would get the opportunity to keep taking photos in university, but i’m grateful that i was able to as pr officer for ccb. this was one of the photos i took for our ice skating event, which was our second collaboration with the second-year board. still not sure who decided it was a good idea to host a four-hour outdoor event during the winter, but the day was beautiful and i had so much fun! my ankles hurt but the insomnia cookies made it all better. miss my ccbabes very much right now 🥺

History

By 1983, when this photo was taken, the railroads that had dominated the city for over 100 years were clearly past their prime. These overgrown and elevated train tracks would soon be removed and those that remained pushed underground. The tunnel that these elevated tracks led to would be closed and the bridge across the Seekonk River on the other side of the tunnel would be raised for the last time.
