I found this mark by chance, although in retrospect, it is in the MHD database. It has PID 14040, and the database entry reads:
"At the southeast end of the St. Mary's bridge over the railroad and Mass Pike, 108.3 ft from centerline of Mass Pike, 21.0 ft off centerline of bridge, 34.5 ft off centerline of Mountford Street, up 4.0 ft."
Between this and the picture, it should be an easy find. Note, though, that it is annoyingly behind a chainlink fence, frustrating photo attempts.
