This mark is located at the Wedgemere Commuter Rail station at Bacon St on the Lowell line in Winchester, MA. You pay getting on the train so getting to the mark is free, but you must enter the east side (i.e. northbound) of the station in order to view the mark.
To reach the mark, go up the stairs into the platform and face the rails. Look to your right - there should be a bench. The mark is under the bench, embedded into the top of concrete wall of the stairwell you just came up!
Note also that MY0602 is under you, in one of the walls of the bridge. After getting back down onto Bacon St, you can find it on the north side of the road just west of the bridge, embedded into the wall.
