Beautiful Locomotives I grew up on the Lawrence Freight Yard watching the trains for hours…..they called those locomotives Jeeps for short…I love going to the roundhouse in North Conway it brings me back to my childhood …

That's just wicked awesome! Love seeing the restored B&M High Hood GP9, now I'm gonna have to get one of these in HO! Keep up the good work, you did a terrific job capturing all of this.

Nice, I remember those paint schemes as a small boy. Well done folks. The main line to Mechanicville passed right behind our house in western Mass. I don't ever recall seeing any F units out there though

It's going to out live all of us. Good job on the restoration.

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

Thanks for watching! The 470 club did an amazing job!!

[@OfficialSEIC2K6]

They now own GP18 #904. They originally intended to use #904 as a parts source for their F7s and GP9 but they decided to work with New Hampshire Northcoast to repair and restore #904 and maybe have it join their fleet

[@laneglarry]

What a great video. I just loved that loud horn

[@peteprizzi8508]

Beautiful job on rebuild+ painting. I'm inspired to paint my 2 GP-9's in "S" scale.

Great video Mike! Enjoyed the shot at 6:30! Great footage!

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

Thanks Tom!!

[@WHJeffB]

Gorgeous!!! Love high nose anything... Great to see another one restored and not given the "nose chop". Far too many of those out there. Spent a day out on the Housatonic in the cab with my son. While I get the thought process on low nose locomotives. We did a lot of running in reverse, with that long high hood out front. Didn't seem to be a problem for the crew. Nice catch. They did a great job restoring that Geep.

[@DarkpawTheWolf]

Wow. I was on this trip through the mountains on CSR a few weeks ago. I saw the F7A/B units at the station, but didn't see the GP9. They must have still been working on it. This would have been a cool trip to be on.

I saw 1741 many times as 72...but it looks so much better now!

[@jeffreyaumand6447]

It does look nice! Sure beats the hell out of sewer GTI G GRS ST PAN AM paint!! Then an engine with no paint looks better then Mellon's sucky paint job!! I remember while working for the B&M in the early 70's as a trainman/brakeman I had worked on those 3 engines alot. Plus others of course! Great job for all who were involved!! Nice to see them running etc etc.

[@davidmorris7696]

It's good to see an old gal like 1741 get a new lease on life and be restored for service

[@icedrinking]

A photo at Quebec Junction would look great.

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

[@tomp8871]

Does the caboose match the engine or the engine match the buggie? How much power do they need up there lol. My brother has a place up there, I'll have to swing over there and check it out. Looks like they are doing good.

[@nordicus1968]

The first run of the 1741 was on October 20th.

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

Yes but this was the publicly advertised debut

[@bean_bttf3]

I noticed MeC 501 was out. I thought it was being looked over for a potential restoration?

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

I believe it is a back burner project so for now it sits on display

[@bean_bttf3]

@@SouthCoastRailVideos Ah okay, makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

[@TheJFish94]

Did Conway Scenic repaint one of their dome cars or is that a new one they purchased?

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

It is a new one

[@OfficialSEIC2K6]

Who knows? Maybe #904 will join the Boston and Maine Trio at the Conway Scenic Railroad after it's restoration at NHN is done.

1741 going to the old Willard Mt Section house ?

Is this OLD BAY COLONY 1741 restored?

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

It is not

[@maestromecanico597]

No B-unit? Improvise. Meanwhile, sit back and revel in all that two-cycle goodness.

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

Thanks for watching!

[@aksyoutube9082]

Last video I watched about the B&M F units said all 6 matching B units have been scrapped over the years with possibly 4267B being the only one that is still around somewhere out of NH.

[@maestromecanico597]

@ The 4268B is still extant and wearing DL&W colors these days.

[@johnhirtle4300]

All the "shutter clicking" is ridiculous considering that digital cameras don't have shutters, so why must they "click" for no reason???

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

All the DSLRs I’ve ever used have shutter clicks so you must not be familiar with cameras

It sure is!!
