Does anyone have any photographs of the Lowell and Lawrence Railroad (1846-1858) or the Salem & Lowell (1858) or any B&M action that happened in the section of track between Lowell and Tewksbury Center? Especially from Tewksbury center.

Thanks!

The Salem & Lowell from the junction to South Middleton was used by a 1968 RRE excursion. I think the segment from Peabody to the junction was out of service by that time, we went Peabody - Topsfield - South Middleton - Wakefield Jct. I recall a shot of a local buried in brush out near South Middleton. I recall a "High Car Job" photo I think was shot between the diamond and Peabody. Otherwise, I've never seen any.
