North Truro station
North Truro station (designated as Moorland station in later years[1]) was located in North Truro, Massachusetts near the intersection of what is now Pond and Twinefield Roads. It was razed when trackage was dismantled between North Eastham and Provincetown by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad in Fall 1960.
