Freight Delivery Halted by Storm Strands Boston Lines
The Boston and Albany railroad shut freight delivery and receipt at Boston houses after the storm, reopening some depots midweek. Four main South Shore tracks are usable again between Boston and Atlantic, with crews clearing Greenbush yard to turn trains. Parts from Marshfield Centre to Greenbush remain blocked and a snow plow near North Easton disrupted lines until a derrick lifted it back.
