I had today off, and, since I spent the night in Woburn last night, I decided to film the morning rush at the forgotten Mishawum station. The decaying, decrepit nature of the station makes for a cool vibe, and the high volume of traffic makes for plenty of video opportunities in a short amount of time. With that said, the trains come through here fast and without warning, as very few actually stop here. I would advise anyone looking to shoot here to exercise extreme caution at all times.
Following is a breakdown of each clip in the video. I managed to catch a total of seventeen trains, along with some footage of the cleanup on the site of the old Mishawum ticket building, which was demolished last week to make way for a new Dave & Buster's.
