I can still remember when both passenger and freight trains came through here in Danvers. There aren't too many of us left that can say that, and the loss of the trains is truly a very sad thing, nothing built America more than the railroads.

honestly, I dont! Especially in the beginning, I would camp out for hours and wait. Sunday is your best bet for something. If you go around 12 or so and wait until 3 good chance you'll see a train, but it is not at all garuenteed.

So I live along the Boston/newburyport rail line. The same line also splits in Beverly whwre one goes to Newburyport and the other towards rockport. My question is are all trains on radio? And what would the 160.??? Frequency be so I’m able to listen to that particular rail line? Any reply would be greatly appropriated
@BostonByRails
@BostonByRails 12 күн бұрын
Hi there! Indeed, both lines are dispatched by the Boston East Dispatcher. The frequency you can use is 160.320

I’m not sure what 160.??? Frequencies are for which things or where to look them up so I’m not always asking ya thanks man enjoy the weekend

A few years ago myself and a few other railfans were able to get a tour of the Brookville Facility in Pennsylvania. There was a MBTA PCC undergoing restoration at their shop. They didn't want us taking any photos, probably fearing that we would post them on Facebook. According to Brookville, the biggest problem was caused by salt getting into the gears of the trucks during the winter months. They were trying to come up with a sealed system to avoid this. Who knows, maybe they are doing things in house now like SEPTA in Philadelphia. If nothing else, it gives MBTA staff experience in the rebuilding process and they can keep control. In any event, I'm glad that they are keeping the cars running. I'd like to return during the fall and photograph these cars with colorful foliage in the background.

It looks pretty lively up in that area. I have taken the Acela from NJ to South Street Station and rode and photographed the Mattapan PCC's. The only landmark north of Boston that I frequented was Hilltop Steak House in Saugus, but that has been history for quite some time! Subscribed.

Rockport is an interesting location for another reason. Back when the trains were steam locomotive hauled there was usually a turntable at the end of the line to turn the locomotives for their return trips as steamers were not usually operated backwards. Rockport instead had a loop track. If you look at Google earth you can see where it was in relation to the yard. The name of the Rockport interlocking is still called CP (control point) Loop.
