Love seeing the baby boats in service

[@CRQ5508]

You just have to love this little puttering U18Bs. Mr. Ouellette always seemed to know where to point the camera.

[@kevinlamarre9749]

Love that sound! Thanks for posting!

[@mec253]

The only Maine Central U18b to be refitted with the short nose from a U25b.

When I was a kid, any time we went through Salem, I'd have my eyes peeled for any trains. But I never got to see one moving. Just parked cars at Grossmans and behind. It bums me out that all of this is gone, but I still have hope that one day the M&L will be revived as commuter rail. It's just such a no-brainer that it has to happen eventually.

[@sausagefingers7278]

tidy little trains sneaking around tight spaces in the fall colors. Gotta love the North East.

[@lionel0824]

Awesome video! I love the old chuggin' GE's

[@cvgeeps]

Error 404 - locomotive not found

[@nhrrman]

I actually talked to a guy today about that...he described the location, but I'm not familiar with the area. It is in Lawrence and it splits from the Main near where the tower used to be. It is also still in service, but sees only occasional use. I bet if you use Google Earth you could find it. Craig

[@cosmiccowboyfg300]

That was really nice to see GTI operations around Lawrence and Salem. I'm not familiar with Lawrence except occasional drives along the canal, which I always thought would be a great place to photograph or video RR moves.

404 Diesel Not Found

[@baker3person]

Where is the last scene?

[@drby0788]

3:30 those are some of the tallest crossbuck poles I I've ever seen! Lol

[@BNoakville]

+drby0788 If i didn't know better i would probably say that used to be a wig wag signal mast.

[@mattydred72]

The taller masts and longer crossbuck blades were common on the B&M system until just about 1986, when other shortlines and Guilford started to outfit crossings with newer, more compliant signaling.

[@hdg-grimm9844]

I live right near the part where the hoppers were placed its so nostalgic to see what that looked like back then

[@earthangel6480]

EARTH ANGEL😇 😔 SAD when they ripped out the rails wasn’t it???😮😞. ANOTHER piece of history bites the dust.👎🏾😢🚂

[@nhrrman]

It's amazing, I didn't even know I was pregnant!

[@TheGomes412]

This is an awesome video, as they always are. Where is that street running? And where were those plastics hoppers being spotted? What was the company?

[@kevinelliott5823]

TheGomes412 there’s a company on Glenn st Lawrence MA that still gets pellet hoppers via street running

[@16thavestudios19]

Whittemore Perlite is the customer that gets hopper cars..Pan Am serves them usually once a week..The branch starts behind Freedom Tire on Broadway/RTE 28

[@nhrrman]

Thanks, Glad you liked it. Craig

[@russellholt5879]

AWESOME video thanks for posting.. what more could a modeler of early 90's Guilford in urban eastern Mass. want? THANK YOU keep 'em coming if you can

[@Joe-d7m6k]

Who, in their right mind , would model GUILFORD????????

[@russellholt5879]

@@Joe-d7m6k hahaga...someone who's wishing that they actually had remotely competent and employee-respecting leadership... i know it's EXTREME wishful thinking, but the Big G locos are what I saw as a kid so I'm biased...

[@OldCBnGuns]

Correction it's the P&W U23B not U18 at the Naugatuck railroad

[@cjgangi0123]

What does he say at 17:25 ? Our business used to be on Glenn St, saw this street running many times, still occasionally do. Thanks for posting this.

[@giannalynnwreckingco.7110]

"Whaddya do with the parts that we're in erase em?"

[@nhrrman]

Thanks Buddy!

[@nhrrman]

Oh yeah, Plenty more to come. Craig

[@patricknoveski6409]

Love the video, but talk about operating on a shoe string budget, geez. Waiting to see them hit the ground😂.!

[@drby0788]

9:20 it's funny because it looks like theres not hi mg there...just strolling down the street lol

[@stevenmichael2845]

Is that a rebuild? EMD trucks...

[@nhrrman]

Steven Michael Hi Steven, They were delivered brand new with the blomberg trucks, I don't believe any EMD's were traded towards them either. Craig

[@OldCBnGuns]

The P&W U18 is now on the Naugatuck Tourist Railroad as one of their main locomotives. It's in CT.

[@talltim10]

What does the guy say at 17:25?

[@giannalynnwreckingco.7110]

[@cvgeeps]

:D

[@cheapassfilmsuhg8121]

It took me a few seconds to recognize the crossing at Becon ST and the industrial park. What is really cool is I was working at the auto repair shop where the track crosses RT 28 in 1989. I was probably working that day too! Ken's Auto Repair. I was looking for my car in the lot. Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
