The Last of Historic MBTA and Amtrak Equipment in Boston, Why Do We Care? | What Remains Episode 5
It feels all too familiar. Another piece of railroad equipment going out of service, and another identical one making its debut on the rails. As railroading becomes more standardized, we railfans continue to hold onto what uniqueness we have left. Come along as we explore what Boston has to offer.
Enjoy!

    The CapeFlyer's pace on the Cape is so slow, when I went to film it myself, I caught it crossing the bridge, booked it down US-6, and managed to catch it pulling into Hyannis. To be fair, this *was* a Sunday morning, so it's not exactly the most practical plan for every situation Also, why is the dispatch for the Cape in Wisconsin?

    I’m thrilled to have found your channel and find the content informative and absorbing. And even though I’ve only worked through a portion of your videos, I wish to make a request. Could you please include more explanations - in layman’s terms - of the railroad terminology you present? Perhaps even a tutorial explaining railroad terminology? Anyway, thanks so much for your efforts. Tremendous professionalism on display. I’m sure you’ll enjoy much success wherever the tracks lead you. And thanks so much for finally answering a question I’ve had for over 60 years… what the heck path do trains take to get from Readville to Somerville! I grew up a block from the old Reading Highlands depot… the abandoned coal silos and turntable were my playground!

      Thanks for the comment, Im glad you enjoy. Funny you mention the terms thing, I have actually always considered making a “railroad glossary” video, for all basic railroading terms, and then a “boston railroading glossary” video tk explain what all the stuff im talking about is. It would be fun to reference in my future videos as well. Might have to consider making that soon!
