At the Needham Heights station, where Hunnewell Street crosses over the track, there is a telephone pole bearing a plaque with the following information:
CONRAIL
546 866 N
U.S.DOT - AAR
As far as I know, Conrail never owned this line; if memory serves, the New Haven sold it to the MBTA circa 1967. And if AAR is the Association of American Railroads, that's a lobbying group. What are its initials doing on a telephone pole?
