4/30/2016 - Amtrak Downeaster 698 @ Ocean Park, Maine
A video from my archives. Not much has changed in this scene in the 8 1/2 years since this was filmed. The only thing is that the 90220 was rebuilt. The signals will be replaced within the next year by CSX.

CSX M427 At Front Street Exeter, NH
มุมมอง 662 หลายเดือนก่อน
11/7/2024 CSX M427 makes track speed after accelerating out of the siding from Newfields. They had just met Amtrak 689. There is a bit of a hill here so they were working hard getting up to speed. You could hear them working from a couple miles away. This area is getting some signal upgrades in the near future, CSX is installing their vader style signals, getting rid of the old searchlights and...

Amtrak GP38-3 Leads Portland Extra at Reading, MA and Exeter, NH 10/17/2024
มุมมอง 2793 หลายเดือนก่อน
An Amtrak Portland extra heads eastbound from Southampton St yard in South Boston with equipment for Portland, Maine. It's not often you see a GP38, let alone an MP15 in the same consist on this part on the line. I kept the video going for a few after the train passed at Exeter to capture the horn echo effect thanks to the cooler air. Locations: Reading, MA train station Front Street Exeter, NH

CSX Local Freight at Reading, MA 10/10/2024
มุมมอง 663 หลายเดือนก่อน
CSX L055 is eastbound at Reading depot. They had a healthy train for Lawrence from Boston and 2 CSX B40’s for power. An old set of GRS flashers still guard the pedestrian walkway from the B&M era, with an ugly WCH ebell sitting on top. It used to have an old WCH mechanical bell but was replaced a few years ago.

Taken on 2/5/2021. I believe this was AYPO. The crossing signals here have been replaced to all new equipment since the video was taken.

I used to very strongly dislike wind chimes until recently I was told that all the wind chimes I didn’t like to hear were all untuned. The beautiful sounds that this chime produces genuinely moves me.
Cool, where can i buy this
Google Amtrak Wind Chimes, it's by Wind River
Cool capture and video. Enjoyed and have a wonderful rest of your day.(Steve)
@@StormySkyRailProductions Thank you Steve. It’s an older video I had that I figured would be worth sharing. I have several other videos in my archives from years ago but have yet to post
@@mec_rails Your very welcome. Nothing wrong with that we have lots of video footage even from 2016 to still publish.
That would be cool if that was a revenue train lol
Maybe someday
That Exeter shot and echo was amazing!
@@downeasterailfan For sure 👌🏼
Nicely done grab! (Dave).
Nice catch getting freight on that part of the Western route!
Come down some time and we can catch them
Why are the double tracking it?
@@trainsofmichiganproduction5418 Amtrak wants to add another round trip. This will accommodate with meets
Fantastic video and catch. Enjoyed watching and have a wonderful rest of your day. Steve
Looks good Derek
No way lol I was at that exact spot too
@@downeasterailfan I was standing on the black truck
@@mec_rails I was on the hill with my tripod and camera lol
Is this on the Pan Am? What in the hell do they even need an Approach Limited Aspect for? It's lucky if those bastards go over 10 MPH anywhere!
It is the Pan Am Line, no need for this aspect, you’re right
Advance approach!!!!
@@jacobflanigan6343 Roger 3 out
Very cool video and ride along, great share! (Dave).
How did you catch up? Were they late?
I went right to mass after dover, and they still had durham exeter and haverhill to make so that bought me some time to get ahead. I waited at andover for maybe 5 mins
Cool catch and video. Have a wonderful upcoming weekend. Steve
Fantastic K5LA on the 224!
Jeez CSX has been replacing alot of flashers along the Portland Sub...
These were the only ones that have been replaced in this area, all the other crossings still have the clear aurora lights
They also replaced the gate mechs here to Siemens
@@mec_rails They really wanted to hammer down on upgrades I see lol
I can vaguely hear the long horn
Yeah Like it sounds like a distant horn
@@mec_railsWhen I originally saw this, I thought it was a joke
@@DarkLink1996 we don’t joke around here, well maybe sometimes
@@mec_railsI meant the actual wind chime. Like I saw it online
@@DarkLink1996 Oh gotcha, Yeah they had a sample and it sounded good so I took the chance. think you’ll buy one?
nice
Very good!
me
mecraile Ee
mecrils
Did they have a restricting signal?
God above that sounds fantastic!
Nicely done! (Dave).
Thanks Dave
@@mec_rails Your welcome.
This is crazy
Thank you!
God DAMN
Doesn't go to the show but railfans the downeaster, okay

Nice catch, one of my favs on the Wildcat! Could u try and get the train at Clark St one crossing up from that one? Pls and thank you
Yeah I can, parking is tough for those crossings on the Wildcat
Cool how much business they have there.

Stunning scenery! Love this area

Thanks Stormy Sky
@@mec_rails Your very welcome.
I always loved their blue livery.
It’s to die for
There must of been a train on the way I think means that
That was awesome! Have a great weekend!
Thanks StormySky you too
@@mec_rails Your welcome and thanks also.
I know why there’s is an Amtrak Train every day in Old Orchard Beach. These Amtrak Trains goes between Brunswick Station (Brunswick, ME) and North Station (Boston, MA). Along with the other Amtrak Stations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine.
Oh yeah that makes sense, thank you Darth!!!!!!!
@@mec_rails No Problem! I know a lot about trains, and navigations.
@@darthblader2002 It’s good that we have ppl like you to hold down the fort!
Cool catch!!
Nice! Saw it at Rockingham Junction this morning.
Very cool catch and video of the Amtrak Extra.
