So, I was in the Miles in Transit Discord server and I mentioned I was going to be doing the entirety of the Newburyport Line on the day I came up here, to which someone got excited over Rowley. Well, to that person who was eager to see my take on Rowley (or, I guess as I should dub you, Rowley’s Strongest Warrior), this one is for you. Welcome to Rowley!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rowley opened in 1998 as part of the Ipswich Line’s Newburyport<\/a> extension as the sole intermediate station, and it shows. It’s a full-length high platform with shelters and benches and wastebaskets (oh my!), plenty of parking that, when I was here, it barely had anyone parked (it was also after the AM rush), and a whole lot of nothing in the walkshed. Yeah. There really is nothing, and you’d have to walk a mile before reaching much of anything. If anything, it’s a testament to just how not very dense the town is overall. Yikes. There isn’t even a Dunks nearby, which is also just sad. Ah well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good: It’s a full-length high platform! Yay? There’s also shelter and benches and parking!

The bad: WHY NO OVERNIGHT PARKING?! ALSO, THERE’S LITERALLY NOTHING HERE AAAAAAAAAAAAFHDIOAPHFGDIOAHGIOPASHGAD WAHT THE FUCKING HELL

Nearby points of interest: Nah.

Transit connections:
Commuter Rail (Newburyport)

Overall, while it’s not bad<\/em>, it’s just……eh…..there’s nothing really helping it and there’s nothing nearby. This is just depression more than anything else. Pass.
