Abandoned siding restored! First train delivery in 13 years - Gallo, Sagamore, MA - 8/27/2024

[@railroad9000]

So nice to see rails being restored instead of torn up for the stupid rail trails.
Trails only benefit a select few where as rails benefit everyone!

[@fhowland]

I love trains as much as the next guy but trails benefit a ton of people, your claim is ridiculous

[@cadespencer6320]

@@fhowland they benefit hobos for sure lol

Great to see a lot of railroad sidings, lines restored and everything back to life!

Great to see this project coming to fruition 😊

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

It was great to see the work start to finish while being able to document it

[@tomp8871]

I was going to ask you, how do they intend to unload those cars........then I seen the end. That's great, hope this business grows.

[@JeffSheehanMarketer]

This is so great to see. It would be interesting to know what sold Gallo on using rail instead of trucks? This could be used as a model to help sell Mas Coastal services to other businesses,

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

Thanks for watching! I believe MC/MassDOT working on the Industrial Rail Access Program is what pushed Gallo to start using rail.

I'll bet the neighbors had a fit. In Vermont, they have been trying to build a short branch into a quarry for over 30 years to reduce heavy stone truck traffic through Brandon, VT. So far the NIMBY's have stopped it, defying common sense.

😂😂😂 “we want trucks off the road “ “we don’t want train line “Ffs 🙄

Fools!

[@tomroise9426]

Typical short sighted people

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

I think this project went through without any major complaining as there was already a business operating here

[@joedygert4362]

Was this siding always a dead end (like now) or did it reconnect with the main line originally at both ends?

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

It was always a dead end

[@alanbutler2417]

You didn't mention the gondola at the end of the track. Looks like it may be used for loading scrap steel. Coincidentally, I stopped by that overlook about 4 pm on the 27th.

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

The gondola is in storage and sat inside the customer’s building for over a decade. It is in no shape to be used in any service unless it gets rebuilt.

[@alanbutler2417]

I forgot about that old gon.

[@malbojah]

I saw the cars this morning when going under the bridge.
2 questions:
1) do they have a rail scale on the siding going to the scale house?
2) is the siding only accessible from the north (not a run through siding, but a dead-end siding)?

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

There is no rail scale and only one switch on the (railroad) south end.

[@QWERT1456]

How are they going to unload the cars?

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

They will use the pit and conveyer shown at the end of the video.

[@den2929]

Congratulations. I saw your unloading system - looks simple. Where did the stone come from? Is it speciality stone or just two sizes of random crushed stone?

[@moviebackground]

👍👍

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

Thanks for watching!

[@valenzaplumbing]

How do they unload? The dock inside the building still isn’t used I’m assuming?

[@malbojah]

I took a drive through there this morning, they have an unloading pit under the rails with a conveyor in it for their sand and stone piles

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

Yes, they have a pit and conveyer as shown in the slideshow at the end of the video

[@fhowland]

The same cars as the trash train?

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

No, these are CSX hoppers

[@theodorejones6549]

So where do they dump them out West?

[@SouthCoastRailVideos]

They will unload those hoppers right on the siding

[@Lexithelovedreamery2k]

CSX Might Buy Mass costal.
