Walden Street Cattle Pass, Railroad cattle underpass in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The Walden Street Cattle Pass functions as a brick tunnel beneath the railroad tracks, facilitating the movement of livestock between different sections of Cambridge.
Built in 1857, this underground passage served as a vital transportation link for moving cattle between the railroad and nearby stockyards until the early 1900s.
The structure represents a period when livestock management and railroad infrastructure merged to support the growing meat industry in Massachusetts during the 19th century.
Located at coordinates 42.389417, -71.124667, visitors can observe the tunnel structure from Walden Street, near the MBTA Commuter Rail Fitchburg Line.
The brick tunnel underwent restoration work in 2007-2008 during the replacement of the second-generation bridge, preserving its original 1857 construction features.
