Grafton & Upton Railroad - Switching at the Hopedale Distribution Ctr

The train had already entered the yard but I was able to catch them moving some maintenance equipment prior to the railroad car movement. Some loud axels! The railroad was operating two MP15s. We only see #326 as the other one was parked at the south end. Added a bonus clip at the end of drone footage I took a few weeks ago. The drone view is from the south end of the yard near route 16 to the Bancroft Park crossing.

This was the only good vantage point for shooting the video. This area is private property so can only get so close to the tracks.

Great video. At the beginning of the drone video at the south end, any idea what that is they’re unloading out of those hoppers? Looks a little too light colored to be sand, but it must be pretty heavy because those are small hoppers.

[@centralmassflicks8722]

Not exactly sure what is those hoppers. The railroad moves cement, fly ash, plastics and recycled glass.

Wow. A lot of old slabs and foundations - artifacts of the "old days", I suppose. But, for the man who likes MP15's (which I do), this was enjoyable. Thank you.

That's because the mow equipment has a 2 stroke Detroit diesel engine lol
