Rather than a passenger station or a train, this view turns to the freight yards and terminals that the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad operated around Boston, the working side of a line that carried goods across southern New England. Railroads of this period often used views like this for promotion, showing the scale of their facilities to shippers and the public. Freight terminals were busy places where goods moved between rail cars, wagons, and ships, so the scene reflects the city's role as a commercial port as much as the railroad's own growth.
