Conrail's Last Day On Boston Street in Baltimore

The last Boston Street run heads east toward Bayview, past the old Amoco tank farm. The giant fuel storage tanks are also gone now.

The final run passes some non-descript East Baltimore warehouses on its way back toward Bayview. 

The train leans into a rusty curve, working it's way back toward Bayview yard.

This building has now become a shopping center, but in this photo it was still the American Can company, consuming can stock and shipping out cans for all sorts of uses.

A high-rise condo is under construction in the background, foretelling the end of industry along Baltimore's waterfront.

The train leaves the street running portion of Boston street.

The brakeman rides the back steps of the Geep as it backs up to the loading bay.

Having captured its quarry, the last train on Boston Street heads east, back to the yard at Bayview.

A good broadside view of GP38-2 #8263. The old American Can Company in the background is now a chic shopping plaza for the newly gentrified Canton neighborhood that surrounds it.
