Raw goods (and molassess apparently) in the NE, petroleum products in Charleston/Everett, and coal gasification in East Cambridge were major industries. Nowadays the historically Italian North End is mostly high-end residential/tourist trap area, with a shrinking number of Italian restaurants that tend to serve rather average Italian food, compared to my childhood recollections. Only main legacy of the industrial history is the large LNG tanker terminal in Everett, longest-operating liquefied natural gas import facility in the U.S. Remarkably there is only one industry still served by freight rail inside the Boston city limits, an ABEX logistics warehouse.
