North Station, near Boston's North End and Haymarket Square, is the terminus for MBTA Commuter Rail trains going north and west of Boston. The station is not visible from the street, but the TD Banknorth Garden (formerly Boston Garden, formerly the Fleet Center), a large sports and show hall, is visible—and pretty ugly. The station entrances are on the sides of the "garden" (garden...garden?). The subway Green Line station is on the northeast side of the TD Banknorth Garden. Commuter Rail trains go to towns west of Boston such as Concord, Acton and Fitchburg; and to Salem, Gloucester, Rockport, Newburyport and other points on the North Shore. North Station is also the terminus for Amtrak's daily "Downeaster" train to Portland ME.

Above, TD
Banknorth Garden:
big,
ugly, and having nothing to do with a "garden,"
but North Station is behind
and beneath it.
