According to the FRA, there is a North Shore Freight Branch.

Note there are 2 crossings with 'North Shore Frt' under the Branch column.
Check the 2 boxes and click 'Generate Report' to view info. The report basically shows that it's a siding and has few moves. Google Earth shows an abandonned trackway crossing the 2 streets with RR crossing pavement markings still in existence.

The latest accident report is dated March 31, 1994.
Does anyone have more info about this?
