NEGS and P&L Tie Train on the White Mountain Branch 4-22 & 4-29-20

[@fhowland]

Very cool video! It’s sad that the only trains these rails see are the scenic ones, but better than nothing! Glad the line is still active.

[@JawTooth]

This is awesome! I was just reading about this move in RailPace Magazine. I was hoping that someone video taped it and here it is! Nice job

[@philipconnolly7887]

Those ties and rails were like ,"these aren't excursion cars Ouch!!!!!!"

[@JawTooth]

The shot at 10:28 is the shot that is in Rail Pace Magazine.

[@MichaelByers.3804]

Great job 👍 I love the sound of EMD'S.

[@MBTAPanAmRailfan]

Thanks

[@BranchlineGeepProductions]

That GP7 sure sounds good!

[@northrailproductions]

302: operates Everyone: *wait that’s illegal*

[@NorthEasternMotionProductions]

I think you’re thinking of 1186

[@northrailproductions]

True but 302 also barely operates

[@NorthEasternMotionProductions]

@@northrailproductions yeah. Except in the fall and when NEGS needs help. Outside of those 2 instances, it’s elusive. Also, apparently 1186 runs frequently too. It’s just that it hasn’t been caught on tape with footage of its horn for some reason.

Sweet video Eli

[@NortheastRails]

Awesome chase!!

[@MBTAPanAmRailfan]

Thanks!!

[@NortheastRails]

@@MBTAPanAmRailfan No problem!

[@auto8productions491]

Interesting video my friend! How often does the P&L do these freight moves?

[@MBTAPanAmRailfan]

The last time they moved ties was last year also for this tie project. Actual revenue hasn't run in maybe a decade or two.

[@auto8productions491]

Northern New England Rail Productions Oh interesting. I assume as the tie project goes on there will be more of these moves? Or no?

[@MBTAPanAmRailfan]

@@auto8productions491 No this is the last of the ties and the project is beginning this summer.

[@MBTAGuyProductions]

Boring chase

[@MBTAPanAmRailfan]

K bus

[@MichaelByers.3804]

It's not a boring chase. I thought it was interesting.

[@rickledges4412]

@@MichaelByers.3804 Correct on not a boring chase. Actually it will become a historic chase as the Vermont Rail System will be taking over the NEGS as soon as the regulatory paperwork gets approved. I have not seen whether the NEGS 2555 is part of the sale or will get a new owner elsewhere.

[@MBTAPanAmRailfan]

@@rickledges4412 All kinds of rumors floating around but I've heard 2555 is supposed to stay.

[@NortheastRails]

@@rickledges4412 Wait, so VRS actually is taking it over?! I thought that was just speculation. Do you know when it will happen? I've wanted to chase them for a while, but never have. I guess I should chase soon. Do you know how often they run? Sorry about all the questions but I want to catch them at least once before this happens.
