All Railroad Crossings on MBTA's Newburyport/Rockport Line

A total of 46 crossings on non-private roadways (8 up until the split after Beverly Depot, 21 on the Rockport branch and 17 on the Newburyport branch). We work our way out on the Rockport Line first and then back inbound from the top of the Newburyport Line.
Towns include Everett, Chelsea, Revere, Beverly, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Gloucester, Rockport, Newbury, Rowley, Ipswich, Hamilton and Wenham.

I took a train through this line today and I saw all of these!

[@mbtarailfanner63]

Great video! I’ve been waiting for this line!

[@stormrail4540]

Yeah it was a long time in the making. Needed Keolis to finish the drawbridge in Gloucester and the track and signal upgrades on the rest of the line

[@mbtarailfanner63]

Yeah it seems like it took a while but at least you got it up! I also loved when you did the Haverhill line which is my local line!

[@hammy7061]

Awesome video! I absolutely love this line! If you had recorded this in 2010-2015, most of the crossings with modern equipment would still have had the old 8 inch lights and mechanical bells. (For example, dodge st, bay rd, and some others.)

[@hockeyfanatic6630]

Awesome video!! I’m from Western New York but I’ve rode on the Rockport train from Gloucester into Boston and back many times. I’ve visited this place many times as a kid so watching this brings back my favorite train memories from my childhood.

[@stormrail4540]

Thank you and I'm glad. It sure is a beautiful line

[@hockeyfanatic6630]

@@stormrail4540 I sure hope to go back and ride that line again. Fond memories!

@@PlainStProductions03 I intentionally skip private roads to avoid trespassing, especially since i want these videos to represent places people can watch at

Yuck, too many quiet-zoned crossings on this line, as per usual on the north side.

I think you probably have one mistake You accidentally put it the I in the word Tozer So don't forget to delete The I
