Railroad draws new business to Hopedale, MA"Romar, which has been in Allston for more than 40 years, distributes business supplies, including paper, lumber, drywall and other non-hazardous materials. The company recently had its lease in Allston terminated when Harvard University acquired the land, forcing it to relocate."
This isn't all Harvard -- MassDOT bought out CSX's tracks, pushing out freight, so they could have more unfettered use of the Worcester/Framingham line. It's true that Harvard is getting a large chunk of land out of it, but commuter rail improvements hinge on it too.
