Grafton & Upton GU-1 Chase 12-27-24

Enjoy!

Cool catch!
@@tfs4499 ty!
At what time does the G&U usually depart grafton?
@@Track_Tranzit get there around 8:00 and most of the time they’ll leave no later than 9:30 but keep a scanner to hear what they’re doing
Great video. I subscribed to your channel as well!
I saw them in Upton, they did some weird operation. They sat the train outside of Upton yard just outside of Pleasant St crossing and moved North with the full train. Then came back going back into Upton yard shortly after. And the power was flipped with 1501 leading South and the 1160 leading North. Must been flipped in Upton. Never seen anything like it.
@@southmassrailfan I believe they were waiting to get the gates open at the yard on the northbound return trip. They do a lot of weird things in Upton to get the job done quicker as it can take abt 2 hours. Sometimes though not often another locomotive would follow the GU-1 into Upton and then switch out the yard but it hasn’t happened in a bit.
@@dcrailmedia8054Interesting, I haven’t heard of that before, nor see it online.
Wow seems like 109 FINALLY got her bolt on nose
edaville 11 porter 0-4-0T
When did they got the new locomotive
It’s been around since 2010 and it went out of service in early 2016 but they recently put it back in service due to increasing traffic levels.
@@dcrailmedia8054 hopefully traffic to do increase more
Wow Amazing I m ur new friend please pray for me n support me fully visit my side
whats the “schedule” for this? Ive been wanting to learn more about this little railroad.
They're OD around 7 AM in North Grafton and tend to leave anytime between 8:15-9:30 but can be later depending on work. It takes about 35 - 45 minutes to get to Upton yard and 15 - 20 minutes from Upton to Hopedale. Sometimes they'll drop some cars off at Grafton Center for storage so that's another variable that can take a bit. It's best to use a scanner as they can stay at yards for sometime. On most Tuesdays and Thursdays (sometimes Wednesdays and Fridays) they tend to go to Bellingham. They tend to return to N. Grafton in the mid and sometimes late afternoon.
@@dcrailmedia8054 they run weekends??
@@southmassrailfan Monday - Friday
Are they gonna add railroad crossing soon?
Awesome
Thanks!
列車のすれ違いが素敵。 チャンネル登録をしました。😺
👍
Is that the final product
Not sure but it should be
@@dcrailmedia8054 cool
Awesome catch catching this heritage unit on this limited with 111 I’ve also cotton these units on this limited to but 117 was in there comset yet
Awesome catch!
Thanks!
Awesome catch catching this heritage unit on this lake shore limited on its return to meet up with the rest of its train in Albany to make a longer train for 49 to chiego
Wow ... Amazing ... From small to big
Thanks!
Great catch and video
Thanks!
Nice catch!
That goal gorn is a ship I think
It’s a recording of a ship horn so yeah
@@dcrailmedia8054 Yes, the only thing is it sounds really fake like just a recording of a horn. Many other goal horns sound like a horn in person and not recorded
@@NewEnglandPatriotsfan yeah
@@dcrailmedia8054 The Sabres probably have the best goal horn, a great sounding horn twice with an air raid siren. Absolutely perfect
I like this content mate keep going !!! Crush your competition with S M Z E U S!
ayeeee i live there! sick video dcat! 💜 much love from mass
So cool
Indeed
Beautiful video
Thanks!
Nice video
Thanks!
I feel bad for laughing but he sounds like kermit the frog😂
I didn’t realize that till now and he didn’t sound like that in person idk how that happened man
Beautifull train and sound
I assume grafton and uptown interchanges with csx explaining the ex csx yn3 paint but I haven't a clue if they just interchangeable with csx or another road
Just CSX and no one else
I didn't recognize those locomotives - I initially thought SW1500, but there was no front grill. Do you know what they were?
MP15AC’s from CSX but you’re not that far off the path
It has a extra coach.
I mean it's nothing special but when the LSL was much busier and actually had equipment it was much more common
Good luck with your video
love the GU. they can fly huh? any idea what the track speeds are now a days?
10 mph but can do 20 on the line from Milford to Bellingham
Nice video👍👍👍
Thanks!

Worse F40 on the roster 😁
Why does a unit matter lol… never got it, it’s just an F40 bro😂😂😂
@@dcrailmedia8054 Im not saying opinion wise, I literally mean 1025 is the worse F40 MBTA has.
Never knew recycled glass was shipped by railcar. Do they crush it into fine pieces to get it to flow in a hopper car?
Yeah they do
maybe the train speed is slow because it is pulling a lot of carriages loaded with heavy containers?...
Part of the reason, they stopped about a half mile before the crossing and it takes a while for a few locomotives and a train of that size to get up to speed.
Nice video ... The powerful locomotive is able to pull many freight trains...
Thanks!
That's very interesting, thanks for sharing! 8019 was on L003 (B723/B722/the Westborough Transflo to Interplast, G&U, and Regency job) on the 12th, and 8822 surprised me the night of May 2nd coming east through Southborough solo, and this vid explains why 8019 wasn't tagging along. Also of note, Amtrak 108 went west the afternoon of the 15th.
No problem! This video is pretty old but it’s still sort of relevant, 8019 at the time was sent on L002 because it got sent out to Selkirk for other work.
I saw both of the MP15’s in the yard with all the tankers. The horns sound so good!! How do you track the GU Trains? Is there a spreadsheet or something for it.
I normally hear them from my house and I can normally get a good sense of where they are most of the time. I also got people contacting about the location of the trains as well.
@@dcrailmedia8054 By people you mean friends or insiders??
@@southmassrailfan Both
@@dcrailmedia8054 Dam. I know 0 insiders and i dont know how to lmfao.
@@southmassrailfan If you have Facebook, you should join Grafton & Upton Railfans, I tend to post updates on whenever I see or hear them regularly. If you want to see them in the morning, I’d suggest going to their yard in North Grafton at around 7 or 8 AM. They normally tend to leave North Grafton 8:15-9:30 AM (sometimes 10 but not very often). You can normally see them in Hopedale from 9:30 - 11:30, there have been instances of them getting into Hopedale at around 12 PM - 1 PM but that doesn’t happen a lot.
Nice angle
To be fair it’s the not best angle at this location but it’s not the worst lol
Lol. I always catch it on the side with the bell But that angle shows so much more that you can’t get on my side without being in the middle of the road.
