NECR Freight, Local and Amtrak Action in and around Northfield, VT

Witness NECR freight and local trains, including Continuous Welded Rail trains powered by pure Blue and Gold, as well as NYS&W SD70M's making their voyage back home, and a sighting of the Amtrak Vermonter, all in the Fall of 2010 on the NECR Roxbury Subdivision.

[@trainsruleandroll]

Aww yeah loving the EMD power and noise! Excellent work!

[@HyperActive7]

You make me green with envy on where you're going to school.
Vermont is a place I want to visit so badly not only to see one of my favorite schemes (New England Central) but also to get some real syrup from the source!

[@AliceInChains243]

NICE! There were a lot of bright spots in this one, nice grab on the Blue and Gold trio, it's something you really don't see too often anymore. Though I'm NOT complaining about all of the units they get that they don't paint up (Can Openers anyone?), but the Blue and Gold is one of the best paint schemes there is in my opinion. That NYS&W farewell 324 was pretty epic huh? Talk about a lashup!

[@PennRailVideos]

Love it!! Favorited!!

[@tommyrail67]

great video, keep them coming.

[@Railfan108]

those NYSW units, were heading right for the shops because of how fucked up they were from NECR. but that lashup was just freakin awesome dude!

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

@EMDFAN1988
NECR did not use them that much. They were already beaten up by the lines who had them before NECR, plus, NECR lent them out to neighboring rails on occasion.

[@algeriasky78]

great video tank youuuu!

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

@nprsux
Three, because they had 5500' of train that was mostly loads, heading up 1.5% grades.

[@berkshiredave9766]

Fantastic

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

They were on a long term lease to NECR, but have been returned to NYS&W. As far as I know, the SD70M's are shot, and may never run again.

[@jonahtherailfan1012]

They Brought by Norfolk Southern after NECR and this past year they were sent to Progress Rail for Scrap

[@PennRailVideos]

@CSX6000 The RS3L on the loaded CWR train sounded a lot like mine!

[@EMDFAN1988]

Great video! NYSW's CMO went up to inspect those SD70Ms and had a total shit fit! NECR Beat those engines into the ground big time.. All of em need rebuilds. btw Loved those 38s in 8..

[@jonahtherailfan1012]

NECR 3844 Is gone from the NECR Property as of 3/26/20 Farewell 🤘

[@OSUEngel]

Can you fix the mistake in your description, please, because sunset in spelled wrong.

[@davidadams477]

COOL

[@OSUEngel]

You spelled the word sunset wrong in your description

[@EMDFAN1988]

I stand corrected..

[@nprsux]
