The Fore River Transportation Corporation reporting mark|FRVT is the operator of the Fore River Railroad, a class III railroad in eastern Massachusetts owned by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority.
The railroad runs from the Fore River Shipyard in the Quincy Point neighborhood of Boston to the Greenbush Line of the MBTA Commuter Rail system. It was constructed in 1902 to serve the Fore River Shipyard.
In 1987 the MWRA acquired the railroad and shipyard. MWRA contracts the operation of the railroad to the Fore River Transportation Corporation. MWRA uses the railroad to transport solid sewage waste (sludge) from its sewage treatment plant to a privately owned processing facility.[ [http://www.mwra.state.ma.us/03sewer/html/railroad.htm MWRA - Fore River Railroad ] ] ]References
