For a brief few months after RLK 2210 arrived, there were two locomotives on GEXR with the number 2210. I ended up following this train in Cambridge and photographed them as they switched Access Warehousing. Access stopped using rail well over 10 years ago I think and the tracks in the street are now removed as is the crossing protection. The easement remains though in case someone wants to spend a million bucks to bring rail service to their factory..

This train would eventually head to Babcock and Wilcox on the CPR Waterloo subdivision to drop off their caboose and was the reason I was out.

    It’s unfortunate all of this is gone now and almost everything else east of highway 24

    Great shot! A long gone memory now!

    However, 580 is switching out Associated Packaging in your photo…..last train ran up there in spring of 2011.

    Nice shot Steve.

    Something must have happened as I found an article from March 2009 that Associated Packaging was going to expand it’s Cambridge operations with a multimillion dollar investment.
