I’m looking for any historic photos of Lowell junction. Also looking for any info on the former Reichold chemical plant that was off the junction.

Did you check http://www.faracresfarm.com/jbvb/rr/bmrr/layout.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ? Article in B&M Bulletin Vol. 17 #2 included a plan of the station/tower, but not much about the chemical co. I recall seeing tank cars on the leads to it but the plant itself wasn't visible from passing trains.
