Thanks for watching! And these are about the longest and heaviest trains you will see on the eastern half of North America.

Miracles do exist sometimes.

Thanks for watching! And yes it does, as did the original variation of the scheme that was used on the standard cab EMD's.

Thanks for watching!

I also caught this train later that day at 1:15 pm loaded

Thanks for watching! And yes they did, thats how I found out about the modern day operations there.

Thanks for watching!

@Maine_Railfan you're welcome

Just to let you know it's about an hour and a half from Port Hawksbury which has the nearest operating railroad from the SCR

Its a very interesting operation with an extensive history.

yes the previous one was stolen.

Technically, the owner of the railroad bought the name to Pan Am when the airline went bankrupt. He tried running a regional service under the Pan Am Clipper name, but it was short lived primarily due to lower ridership and an oversaturated market.

Thanks for watching!

Yes, they did that to improve visibility for the crews.

Thank you very much!

@@Maine_Railfan You too bud

While not too many are left, there are still a few in mow service.

No doubt.

Thanks!

@@Maine_Railfan You too bud

It was in several other movies/tv shows as well. One of the CFS parts units also had a few on screen appearances as well.

@@Maine_Railfan which were?

Nice! I am looking forward to the day when the 470 returns to service.

​@Maine_Railfan Same, I'm glad we're having another steam locomotive back in service again especially in New England one of the most beautiful places, I think another locomotive that should come up there is New York Central Mohawk 3001 as it ran on the Boston & Albany sub now CSX

An Irving unit? That was like 6407 or 6417.

@@Maine_Railfan that was my mistake lol, it was 6417

Pan Am had the last active wreck train in North America, this was probably the last time it was used before the CSX takeover. The cranes on this train were built before the diesel era and were still being used two years ago.

@@Maine_Railfan unfortunately time just keeps moving forward eventually the past just can’t keep up anymore. It’s bizarre to me that we now live at a time where we are seeing Dash 9’s aging to the point that they are starting to enter short line service

Sorry for replying so late, it took me a while to research. But that used to run from Edmunston, NB to Riviere du Loup. It was originally built as the Temiscouata Railway in 1889 and it was bought by CN in 1949. Between 1984 and 1989 most of the subdivision was abandoned. Although a short segment in Riviere du Loup is used as an industrial spur and a short segment in Edmunston is used to switch the paper mill there. Here is some more info on it: www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/TMCR/history.htm

@@Maine_Railfan thank you I run through there a lot with my own semi truck period And I often wondered

Thanks for watching!

It just arrived, I got to see it last week.

6315 and 6340 were my personal favorites. Thanks for watching!

No idea, I don't expect it to happen anytime soon. And yes, they are doing some down in Lewiston to get rid of a few 10 MPH spots.

Yes I have, I imagine it will be a project throughout the summer.

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for future videos!

Thank you! Keep watching for future videos!

You're welcome

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I have played around with the times on them and I think I have finally settled for the right timeframe. I am hoping to switch to a different format with them in the future, which can be overlayed with the footage, and the text boxes will be able to contain the railroads logo.

I appreciate it! I have a backlog going back to 2014, so I have plenty of content for the future. I am hoping to build up enough pre-edited videos that I can eventually upload a video every day.

And back then we complained about how wimpy the winters were... Its been five years since I have seen a plow extra...

I appreciate it! I am working on improving my night videography. I found that using the manual focus on my camera helped a lot. I am looking at buying some Milwaukee portable work lights in the future as well. I found that broadcasting light with headlights onto a train results in less than stellar footage. However, if you had portable lights which can broadcast light down like a street lamp, it makes much better footage.

I appreciate it!

Thanks for watching! The Moosehead has some of the best scenery in Maine!

Your welcome and it sure looks like it.@@Maine_Railfan

No, most of the branch is still 100+ year old 85 LBS stick. Although from around I-95 to CPF-110 is 112 LBS rail. I can't remember if Pan Am/Guilford did that or if it was Maine Central. Regardless, if memory serves its relay from somewhere when 115LBS stick or CWR was installed. I believe the rail was upgraded due to locomotives eating the rail on the steep grade over the years.

​@Maine_Railfan Nice, Where I'm from it's the same case because the Erie had their Northern Branch which ran from Bergen County to Upstate NY via Nyack and some parts of the line still have the original track
