Massachusetts Trains Compilation

Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the video. If you are new here, my channel mostly consists of railroad videography from around the Northeastern USA. Please note that all content that I post is mine and should not be used without my consent.

About this video: This is a compilations of various trains that I believe give the best summary of what train-spotting in Massachusetts is like. As I am trackside for MBTA trains more than all others, I have featured a large variety of unusual and investing trains that I have found throughout the last few years as well. Videos from pre-2020 are not featured in this compilation due to my older videos being stored on a different device than the one that I edited this compilation on - I hope to get more of my older clips from the past decade posted in the future when I have more time available for editing. The locations around Massachusetts featured in this video are listed in the order that they appear below.

Yes sir! Trains are good!

[@MbtaVideoClips]

Cool footage & interesting consists. Also, I ended up seeing the Geo! I’m gonna miss 1647 but my shot of it was a W (Caught it at wilmington racing the Downeaster w/ a really cool hornshow)

[@rail_spike_productions]

That’s good to hear - I was out of town that day so I just chased it like there was no tomorrow on the south side 😂 It was a great crew running it up North for sure. The north side work extra crew consists of some great folks

[@MbtaVideoClips]

@@rail_spike_productions Must’ve been weird seeing 1647 south, huh?

[@rail_spike_productions]

A bit odd for sure, but it’s not the first geometry train I’ve chased with a 1600 on the South side. However, it most likely was the last

[@MbtaVideoClips]

@@rail_spike_productions Yeah I remember a geo last year had one. Can't remember which

[@rail_spike_productions]

There were 2 last year actually. 1649 in March and 1651 in September

[@BostonByRails]

Glad to hear it!!

[@TennesseeBlues4642]

Great video but would have been nice if you put Bridgewater in the video.

[@rail_spike_productions]

Thank you and if I make another compilation I am sure Bridgewater will make it in. I’ve got plenty of videos from there, I suppose none just happened to make it into this particular video

[@BostonByRails]

[@redred1696]

What was the AMTRAK train (35 seconds in) with the MOW consists on the rear end? Any info on that?

[@rail_spike_productions]

That was an Amtrak equipment move from Portland, ME to Boston, MA. The equipment on the rear was borrowed from the MBTA, which Amtrak was returning to them in Boston

[@PatriotAndAlbanyProductions]

[@sausy712]

Whats the story behind 11:25

[@rail_spike_productions]

That locomotive blew a turbocharger - the black substance is oil. It was being rescued by a separate locomotive at the time that video was taken
