Ashpit video Productions - Vol.2 - B&M Conn River

Originally conceived as an independent fund raising effort to rescue the financially ailing Boston & Maine Railroad Historical Society, Ashpit Video Productions Ltd's, "Boston & Maine Railroad - Conn River" gained immediate acceptance among railfans around the Northeast. Original footage was shot using Panasonic SVHS equipment with Hi-Fi stereo sound. It was done when video shooting was still in relative infancy and the B&M was undergoing massive changes under the new Guilford management. The footage here on Volume 2 was shot in numerous locations from Springfield, MA northward to Wells River, VT. Pooled B&M, D&H and MEC power abound as do meets with other trains and aging locomotives pushing hard at the rear of heavy tonnage trains. There is no captioning as all data was originally released on paper lists that denoted when and where. Volume 1 is the B&M's Connecticut River Route. Boost the volume while watching!!

The D&H C420 solo on SPBA on the Conn River is GOLD!

[@mikeytrains1]

For me the D&H, ex RDG GP39-2 leading the 2 B&M Geeps is gold. We have that GP at our museum in Hamburg

So cool to see cars that are free of graffiti…. Not sure what’s going on in 2022 but rolling stock looks like 3rd works ass covered with insane pathetic graffiti….

Nice footage of CV's "Rocket" at White Rivet Jct. They painted those alcos for Quabog Transfer Company. Does anyone know where the footage of the CV freight with CN units at 41:10 was filmed? This is a wonderful compilation of footage from the 80's.

[@sjwhitney]

That is Claremont Jct. Shot from the farm bridge which used to be there.

Ah, the good old B&M. . .D&H. . .Guilford. . ..Springfield Terminal....whatever you want to call it, the most mongrelized locomotive fleet in railroad history. You need the parts of ten to make one, fully operational locomotive.

Nothing good about Guilford ST...

[@user-mr3ct1dm9p]

And now in 2024--- everything is gone-- the locos,the roadnames, the workers.

[@BERXJoe]

Great video! Does anyone know what the song is playing at 34:51? It sounds familiar but I can't determine what it is.
