Minuteman Diesels Episode 1: The F7s
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2023
- The incredibly popular EMD F7 helped solidify the transition from steam to diesel power in the post-war United States. On the Boston & Maine, these units served for over 25 years, becoming a staple in photographs and vintage film. In this first episode of Minuteman Diesels, we take a look at the arrival, service life, and amazing modern revival of these classic "Covered Wagons".

As another railroad archival film UA-camr, this is more of exactly what the railfan community needs on UA-cam! Just fantastic!
Rick, the more of these you do, the better they get. Wow. I can’t thank you enough for putting this history out on UA-cam for everyone to see. I hope more people get to know about the B&M because of this work. It truly is amazing to watch. And who doesn’t love that old footage of Dwight Smith… High Green!
Fantastic production, thank you! My father was on the B&M from 1918 to 1962, the majority of those years as an engineer. There's no doubt in my mind that he was at the controls of 4266 at one time or another. Toward the end of his career, he was on Buddcars {WRJ to Boston} and then, finally, on the yard switcher here in Concord {1127, 1129 and others}. I rode with him every Saturday and the memories are still some of my best.
Coming from the United Kingdom, this is a beautiful piece of historical railway that's well loved and respected here. 👍😎
Rick, so nice to see a machine once dead and ready to scrap brought back to life. The B&M lives!
I appreciate the discussion of the differences between EMD F3 and F7 units, both in technical terms and in terms of real-world use.
OMG! My hometown is Billerica, and seeing these beautiful units in their golden years in my town is insane! Great work with this documentary!
Well done! Love the F7 model. Thank you for bringing the B&M to those of us who've never visited that region.
Really nice video. Beautiful F units!
I enjoyed the video. Interesting history on the F-7 "A" and "B" units. I came here because I was looking for ideas for my recently acquired Overland Models lnc HO Scale Brass F-7 A-B-A set and a future layout. Once again, I enjoyed watching the video, and I was able to come up with some ideas for a layout. The video is inspiring. 😊
Excellent video. Thanks for making and uploading it.
Great work. Thank you.
Rick out did yourself excellent presentation and video!!! Can't wait for the next one!!!
Enjoyed the video...thanks!
Great job, love the end. Looking forward to the next ones
By far one of my favorite channels on UA-cam. Your series on B&M Steam is unparalleled. Can’t wait for subsequent diesel episodes.
Your conversion of tonnage rating (abstract numbers) into visual (tangible) form is an example of great teaching.
These videos you’ve produced are absolutely outstanding! The organization of content, footage, and narration all go together to make such a great series!
So good! Thank you!! 😊👍👍
Why couldn't the shop find out and stop the problems with
