Leaving Peabody

Earlier this year word spread that the Rousselot Plant in. Peabody, MA would be closing by the end of 2023. The gelatin plant located on the South Reading Industrial Track is the last freight customer on the North Shore, and the last freight customer East of Everett on the former Boston & Maine Eastern Route. The Boston-based BO-1 crew brought a single tank car of hydrochloric acid yesterday morning, the last loaded car for the facility Here the crew is seen leaving the plant passing through Peabody Square with a string of empty cars. One more move will occur when the crew retrieves the car they brought on this trip and freight will no longer be seen.
