Grafton and Upton Railroad October 2022

A short chase from Hopedale MA Distribution Center to Milford MA. GATX 326, GU 1160 and GU 1191. Some initial activity in the Hopedale Distribution Center as they prepare for the trip to Bellingham/Franklin. The new crossing lights and gates are not active yet on Cape Road / Route 140 in Milford. Depot Street in Milford is where they reverse direction with GU 1191 & 1160 taking the lead.

Very nice video! That's a chase I want to do soon since it's right in my neck of the woods.

The crossing gates at Cape Rd were recently installed. It's a pity to see that they're not yet working. Gates were also installed at the main st just south of the Hopedale yard. The Depot St crossing was rebuilt around the same time, but sadly, gates weren't installed there.

New lights and gates were also installed on route 16 in Hopedale. They won’t be activated until road work is completed.

Hopefully one day soon the railroad will properly label their locomotives with something a little better than just a black "GU" on a white background covering the old CSX markings. Shows a little pride in the company and probably wouldn't cost much. Nice video from the multiple locations.

The “older” locomotives were properly painted, so hopefully someday they’ll get these done as well.
