The Grand Junction Railroad was an 8.55 mile railroad in the Boston, Massachusetts area, built to connect the railroads heading west and north out of the city. Its western portion, between Beacon Park Yard in Boston and the Inner Belt District in Somerville, remains in use as the Grand Junction Branch, while its eastern portion to the East Boston wharves has been largely abandoned and partly reused for a busway, a bypass road and a rail trail.
