Imagine you live in Greenfield in 1956. It’s Bill Russell’s rookie year with the Boston Celtics and you’ve got tickets to a game at the Boston Garden.
You go to the local train station and at 2:55 p.m. board a car that is already half full, having connected people in Troy, N.Y., at 12:45 p.m., North Adams at 1:51 and Shelburne Falls at 2:28. You step off the train in Boston’s North Station at 5:15 p.m. and still have time for dinner before the game starts.
