Great catches awesome chase and nice video
I see the cars rocking at the Fuller Road (train going east). Seems to me I saw cars rocking at the bridge and another place closer to the Fuller Road for trains going west.
They rock most places between Waterville and NMJ.
@@MaineTrainChaser I see lots of removed ties at some of your video spots. You'd think that with that much tie maintenance they would also level the tracks after replacing the ties. I would think that car rocking would mean the speed limits have to be lower causing less efficiency.
Lots of short rails and joints, I imagine in the near future there will be welded rail laid down.
Check out where the railroad goes over the Souadabscook Stream and then the Newburgh Road in Hermon to see if it might be an interesting shot.
Turns out Newburgh Road has a Google Maps street view at that location. It is a railroad bridge that goes across the stream and the road. The bridge has a lot of stone blocks (granite?). Very impressive. Not sure where you would put your video camera to record a train going across it. At minimum you would get some great pictures.
If you go back to my video from 3/13/24 I have a shot of L071 going Westbound over the bridge.
Do you know if the east bound trains on the Waterville Subdivision ALWAYS go to Passadumkeag and then turn around taking another freight west? Do you know if they might drop off and/or pickup freight cars along the way such as at the Northern Maine Junction?
L071 runs from Waterville to NMJ then turns into L072 then runs to Keag and back to NMJ. They do pick ups and drop offs at NMJ with CPKC and stuff the NM-1 switcher switches.
