First freight train in decades - CSX L010 goes to 5 Yard - Readville, MA - 4/10/2023

Back in the day 5 yard in Readville, MA once was the home to the New Haven Railroad shops. This was once a bustling place full of activity but closed in the 1950's. After that the yard found use as an auto yard as well as a overflow yard for nearby industries. Unfortunately that traffic only lasted into the 70's or 80's then was relegated to MOW use. Since then the yard has been removed but the yard lead remains by the MBTA Readville Station for MOW use. In some interesting turn of events a one off transformer move happened and I was able to capture it. This is the first freight move in many years and who knows when or if there may be another one.
