(rshsdepot) Woonsocket, RI Depot as movie set

["JIMBEAR" <ribear_@_cox.net>]

Here are a few photos of the former Providence & Worcester Depot in 
Woonsocket, RI which is currently being used to film scenes for a Richard 
Gere movie, "Hachiko - A Dog's Story" based on actual events that took
place at a Japanese railroad station in the 1920s. This movie was written
as an Americanized version of the real story. The depot is currently used as 
a National Park Service Visitor's Center and a Rhode Island Public Transit 
Authority bus center for the Woonsocket area.
