Rare Amtrak MP15 Leads the Way in New England on the Portland Extra
A few weeks ago, the round trip of the Amtrak Portland extra to and from Maine had a very rare Amtrak EMD MP15 on it which has almost never happened. On the Northbound trip, the MP15 was put on as it was the only engine in Boston to power the move up to Brunswick Maine. 2 days later and the Southbound run had the MP15 in the consist returning to Boston. I must say the move back to Boston was one of those "what the hell" consist with all different types of amtrak coaches separating each engine/control unit on the train. Additionally, while on the chase we got NHN DOBO with 3823's amazing RS5T and the GP9 1801 cut in for power. Also we got CSX L080 knocking down the Searchlight Signal in East Kingston New Hampshire where the time remaining for those signals should be coming down to weeks now. Insane thunderstorms developed right over Boston as we were chasing the southbound move and that lead to some epic lightning shots!

Last Move For MBTA Single Level Cabcars - Work Extra Moves 1600s for Scrap
Переглядів 14 тис.Місяць тому
Last week the Keolis Work Extra moved 2 MBTA 1600 Bombardier cabcars for scrap Schnitzer Steel in Everett. The cars MBTX 1627 and 1642 were in some of the worst condition and needed to be scrapped nearby to Boston. Rumor has it that this would be the last scrap move to the Coke Works facility. The additional work train cars were there for added braking. Once again it was cool to see the C-1 cab...

    Those car rail post came down too late. Sensors should be adjusted on rails. Railroad work done it, and they didn't pay my money for retirement. I should trip those rail sensor, but i won't. People lives are more important. Something the railroad doesn't know of. Greed is what they know.

    What was the reason behind not including the full transmission between the dispatcher and train? Just curious. Each time that I videoed and there were transmission between the dispatcher and the train and copied a directive. Somehow he got into my videos and I didn’t know if that was legal or if there was just some circumstance behind the whole thing but that was a good catch overall, good video❤

    Those cars are being scrapped for certain. All the air brake valves are stripped off the air racks. The cars have no air brakes, only handbrakes. They've reached their end of life cycle with those aluminum bodies. Built by Bombardier in the 80's and early 90's.
