In 2023, Rousselot announced the closing of their Peabody plant. This plant, served by CSX local BO-1 was the last customer on the historic Danvers Branch. The abandonment of this line marks the end of 173 years of freight rail service to the Salem area.
Note that the voiceover for this video was recorded while BO-1 was still running, and some info may sound out of date.
