Cool design! most of my splitting is done alone too considered your lift table design. I did check out that Gorillabac 3803 log lift that drags the wood to my splitter, lifts it and holds it when splitting. Got one and would never go to anything else. Really lets me get wood up that I could not do before. The prime big wood and gnarly stuff that doesnt roll is easy to get and split. It fits on my old Huskee and most any horizontal vertical splitters. Plus Made in the USA too

Hi Bill Looking forward to your knowledge

gotta love PVRR!

too bad only 2647 exists

Great history from my home town.

Love the insight Bill, nice work

Perfect ☺️

This is sweet. You an acid, or mushroom guy? I wouldn’t doubt you’re on that peyote homie g .

Bill, That is such a great design! We went through a similar build project but ended up with a jib crane lift. The nice thing is that it pulls the log to the splitter too. Then lifts, positions and holds the wood for splitting. Please check it out. ​@UCLhUuK3G5fRmntum38NObRw . it is a Gorillabac log lift and easily hooks to a pickup truck hitch for loading wood or deer too.

Great Stuff Bill! For an intro to past lives, I can strongly recommend Dr. Brian Weiss' "Many Lives, Many Masters", and "Journey of Souls - Case Studies of Life Between Lives" by Michael Newton.

Thank you!

Exceptional

Nice video Bill! I was wondering is the old New Haven Semaphore signal still intact next to the Lockhouse Road bridge? Thanks

A nicely done video ! Good job !

Thank you!

😂😀

Great talk Bill. I always get positive vibes from you

Thank you so MUCH!

Thank you!

Going vertical is the best my brother 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for being you! LOVE this!

Love the background Bill. Keep up the great work :)

Cool Funny Video!!!!!

Amazing!!!!

Beautiful!

"Planting seeds" is what I have done as a method of "planting" points of light...for the purpose of individual growth and enlightenment which then radiates outward. Doling out "blessings"? "Planting seeds"? Bringing light.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!

Fantastic!!!

Bill - you're an amazing human. Thanks for all that you do. Great video.

Bill, can you describe the interchange of cars with CSX? PV's connection is trailing for CSX in the westbound direction so my guess would be CSX from West Springfield backs north to PV's yard with deliveries, pulls out cars waiting to leave, and then continues east. I know a lot has changed at CSX lately but I have an old reference that shows local B730 as the West Springfield - Pittsfield Turn. Maybe PV and the Housatonic RR in Pittsfield are both serviced by this CSX job? I enjoyed your videos. Thanks for sharing them.

I really enjoy the music and the very clear narration of this video. I used to live in eastern Mass and I love tracing railroads, but many of the you tubes leave me scrambling for map quest. you outlined the area and the importance of Rail to the area.thank you.

fantastic work. have you ever considered getting inside the cab of a train and narrating form there?

Bravo sir! Excellent work, I truly enjoyed both segments.

hello Bill I enjoy your RR articles. A s I once lived in Westfield you manage to stimulate memories of those days. Thank you

Bill....Great Splitter!!! Wow, really ingenious. We have been working on an attachment to make splitting more efficient and safer too. Search Gorillabac Log Lift and check out another way of how to "Get Your Wood Up". The only tool that will pull, lift and position your wood.......... for splitting. Save your Back and let a Gorillabac do the work.

Thank you from the UK. Sometimes it is difficult to get railroad info but this video is packed with great stuff. Thanks again.

Hi Bill. I enjoyed both videos of the PVRR. I am currently working to model the line in HO scale. I live in Westfield. I am wondering if you have info about the Holyoke branch of the line. I am unfamiliar with that portion but hope to model it with some fidelity. Thanks

love your Video

Bill: - Wow, I was impressed with Part II which I saw first. But this one is even BETTER. You did a hell of a job.. BTW, you mentioned the RR telephone box next to the diamonds. I many, many years ago I actually used that phone to call the NY center to tell them somebody, (probably a bunch of kids), had packed the crossover with glass and trash. I told them I would do my best with a stick to clean out the track grooves. Everything turned out okay. Also recalled was a crossover track that joined the main track and the passing track at this point. That old black RR bridge was also used for storing PVRR cars , I remember seeing them out there. Tons of memories !!!

What a neat , informative video! Who knew of the scope of the industries served by the PVRR ? I sure didn't . I had to really study the video at the 24:40 mark to see the RR worker throw the switch for the siding! Thanks for all your work.

There is clearly a hand operated 'throw' for the derail. It is tied electrically into the signal by the appearance.

wtf

I see pop is gonna lose some fingers if he keeps splitting with his hand on the log. Only a matter of time until he gets his hand pinched.

I used to ride down these tracks on dirt bikes from Springdale Holyoke to Westfield quarry it was fun back then.

Love the music and your sense of humor. I was thinking of a NorthStar 24 ton splitter but may go with this one after seeing this video. Thanks.

Great video. I have the same machine sans lift. It's a great machine and certainly will pop open anything that gets put through it.

Thank you for a great presentation of the local railroad scene with both these video's. Nicely done, very enjoyable.
