     History
    That railroad line is the former Essex Railroad that ran between the Docks in Salem MA and Lawrence MA. The line ran between those two points via Peabody, Danvers, (Asylum Station served Danvers State Hospital), Middleton, North Andover and Lawrence. It was built as a way for the Eastern RR to steal business from the Boston and Maine in Lawrence. Quite a bit of coal was shipped from Salem to Lawrence. The line was also planned to provide a route to Manchester NH when used in conjunction with the Manchester and Lawrence RR. Most of the right of way of this former railroad is still visible and much of it is ridable on a bike.

    In their last days of use, trains would come up to Danvers from Salem via the Essex Railroad, cross over the Waters River trestle, go under this bridge, then head towards the center of town where the freight house still stands. They would there change tracks over to the former Newburyport line and head over to Wakefield MA to deliver their cars.

    At this time there is no railroad service at all to Danvers although most of the track is still down. The track is currently owned by the MBTA and in my opinion is not likely to be torn up anytime soon. The MBTA tends to leave its trackage down, even unused trackage.
