When did freight service end in Gloucester MA?
Author: chrisbutts

Just curious.  I was going through a pile of Santa Fe waybills I collected from living in southern California (files from 1981-1982) and noticed a SFRC reefer loaded with frozen fish from Gorton's in Gloucester going to Fullerton CA.   How often did frozen fish ship in the early 1980s out of Gloucester and where was it loaded?

You might want to post this query on the Boston and Maine / Maine Central forum on the railroad.net site:

Thank you (forgot about that site).  Sounds like it ended in 1981 after the B&M/MBTA collision in Beverly.
