Minicapt,
The picture above is also of the depot. It is basically the way it looked when I was a kid. The street is now where the track is, and the houses on the left are still there.
The tracks continue to the end of the line further down where I think the trains turned around. I always wondered where the other side of tracks went. We used to follow them a long way then we’d turn around because we figured we’d gone far enough for the one way and we were getting tired of walking. I tried to find out the answer and never did.
Minicapt,
The tracks were behind this view of the building and then went across the road and down a bit further. One of my friends used to live on the corner where the tracks were. I don’t know how old this view is, but I went to see my sister’s house in Stoneham, and the view is at least 4 years old.

Go to Google Maps, and enter “36 Pine St, Stoneham, MA”; then zoom in.
