Glad to see an obscure line get some coverage. Nice color on the fill trying to make the hill. Frankly it came back down for try #2 at what looked like runaway speeds! MILW ROAD had 64 of those units and had troubles on grades
i was thinking the same thing but i think they only use that one for switching trailing point industries... plus i wonder if the condr was a qualified engr... if he was he could got back there and fired up the rear unit and pushed
Maybe it more trouble to setup back Power as DPU, so they try a second run up hill, instead of firing up rear Loco.Im not sure of the reasoning at this point..?
Great video. The train not making it up the hill the first time was pretty cool!

That MP15 will never be the same!!
Great catch!
Love seeing my hoppers in action!
Isn't the locomotive in the back pushing as well
Great video and great catch how many days during the week does this train run
Thanks! I would have to say between 3-4 days into Hopedale. I live at the Hopedale end but I'm sure there's more activity on the North Grafton side.
@@centralmassflicks8722 Okay cool
@@centralmassflicks8722 I might have to come up there sometime and catch some of these trains
Wonder why they brought tank cars to Hopedale when they usually only go to Upton?
I’m not sure if they picked them up in Bellingham/Franklin. The first time I’ve seen full ones leaving Hopedale.

What happened to all their black engines always using these ones 🤔
Not your fault, but first part of this video makes me sick with that building missing. :( Everything else is good though. :)
Loco on the back end not helping pushing up hill......What a waste!
