Railroads saw increased intermodal, carload traffic in September
Is that the old Beacon Park yard in Boston in the Photo?
“Is that the old Beacon Park yard in Boston in the Photo?”
Sure is. And of course Beacon Park is essentially closed with all traffic now going to Worcester and other area yards. So, no “increased intermodal, carload traffic in September” at Beacon Park.
Yes, the bldg in the background with the arched windows is an old Model T factory in Cambridge just across the river from BU. The Grand Trunk RR connection passes over the river here, and may be used in the future for MBTA commuter rail service to North Station from Worcester.
In reference to coal loads being down from last year;;;Maybe the coal traffic will increase if we ever get rid of OBUMA…
