The Boston & Maine Hillsboro Branchline! PAR & M&B | Railroads of New Hampshire [EP 04]

[@williamh.jarvis6795]

At this grade crossing, on NH Route 31, starting after 8:18,, is the one that I have commented on way back when I was a very young child, in other's video clips (pertaining to the MBRX here) about seeing the crossing signals being like that wig-wag type that last stood next to NH Route 101, where many railroad enthusiasts have seen it (before they took it down and closed the crossing). It was more than a single signal, like the one alongside NH Route 101, nearby the Market Basket.

I remember the wig wag from 1979 when it shorted and was in full swing without a train in a snow storm. I went to HS up the hill from Wilton.

Does the quarry train still run 2 trains a day on weekdays here?

[@auto8productions491]

Thanks dude!

[@colchestercreek]

Enjoyed the video, but intrigued by the MBTA train. Any idea where that was to/from? Thanks

They're in the Lowell yard.

The first five plus minutes do not show traffic on the Hillsborough Branch.

[@auto8productions491]

Yes I know, those clips were “openings” on the Northern Mainline which the Hillsboro branches off of.

How many customers on this line and how far does it go ??

[@williamh.jarvis6795]

Unless something has changed recently PAR goes as far as to the Wilton, NH depot, for the reason they need to run around their train for their return trip. The last customer on the line is supposedly Hendrix Wire and Cable, next to Hitchner's, alongside NH Route 101A.
