Alan Stapleford General When I lived in Melrose in the mid 1950's, I used to hang around the crossing shanty at Melrose (now Cedar Park). I would have been 6 yrs old! It too had a crossing guard at Emerson St. The guard was a nice old man. He smoked a pipe. The shanty smelled of coal, cigar, pipe tobacco, oil...all the railroady smells! Imagine a 6 year old hanging around there. We lived just behind the station. 8/20/2011 9:35:13 PM
