This is AWESOME! For a detailed question that's been on my mind is I have a good idea of where both ends of the former South Reading branch diverge off the MBTA mainlines (Salem station and Wakefield Junction), but where's the connecting junctions for the abandoned Newburyport "Branch" itself (where Guilford pulled freight until about 2001)? Did one end of the former Newburyport Branch diverge off near Wakefield Junction too? I'm really trying to find their " former shadows" to study.
+BNYW Trains Can you make a video like this one from Newburyport to North Station? Thanks for Sharing this amazing Videos on your channel! Have a Great Night! -Charlie F
Charlie F Thank you for watching! Now that you request it, I shall do a return trip sometime in the future. My goal is to get all the commuter rail lines done before I film return trips. In the meantime, I suggest you check out some of my Metro North videos. I think you'll enjoy them!
Thank You So Much for taking time to reply to my comment. I appreciate it!! I will certainly watch those Metro North Videos!.. That's also an Awesome goal to get all the commuter rail lines filmed ! -Charlie F
You can drive from downtown Boston to Newburyport in about 40 min since it is all highway. The train takes longer since it needs to stop at several different stations and it takes a longer route to the north. It first heads North then northeast to Salem then heads north again through Wenham.

So many summer weekend memories while living young in Boston's North End and taking this train to north shore beaches😊

Excellent video, but it could use some commmentary.
I wished it would be Newburyport to North Station and back nonstop. That would be great.
Unfortunately the line isn’t dense enough for that
Does the tunnel before salem station go under downtown salem?
Liam J mbta and rail fan yes, I take this route to see my grandparents every once and a while in Salem
I live right next to Newburyport and I've never seen the train come
Well then, pay attention.
Pulled by an HSP46! What was the number of that HSP46?

But add in Boston traffic at the rush hour and its basically the same if not shorter than by car at that time of day.
