During the summer all passenger trains proceed to and from Phillips Wharf in Salem, connecting with the steamboat which runs regularly between the wharf and Lowell Island.
Freight trains are run between Salem and Lawrence, as well as be- tween Salem and Lowell.
The freight station at Salem is Phillips Wharf, where goods trans- ported on the railroad are landed and shipped free of wharfage, and also without charge for truckage, freight cars being loaded and unloaded alongside vessels and stores. The wharf affords good berths for a large number of vessels, and being situated at the mouth of the harbor, can be reached without obstruction (from bridges or other cause) and with- out delay. Tlie detention of vessels in loading and unloading is much less than is usual elsewhere. The harbor may be entered by vessels of the largest class in any state of the wind or tide.
