The readville switcher is most commonly known as the MBTA’s equipment shuffle between the north side and the south side. There is a large variety as to why these long trains ran. Details about each of the trains in this video are in the description
Great video. Awesome long MBTA commuter rail trains. My questions are 1 Did they move that parked freight train? 2 Do thêse freight trains have cabooses?
Thanks very much. To answer your first question, yes, that train was only stopped there for a few hours as it waited for a new crew. As for cabooses, they are very uncommon around here. The only one that can be seen frequently is MBTA’s caboose “C-1” which operates on work trains.
Cabooses are unfortunately mostly a thing of the past. Now there are just End Of Train Devices (EOTs or ETDs) - more or less a flashing light with a radio on it.
Greetings. How far North and South does the MBTA commuter train service other than Boston and immediate surrounding areas? I use to live up in Salem Massachusetts. And am a native born New Yorker from the Bronx. I enjoyed the video really great video work. 👍
Thank you very much! I believe that the northern most station on the system is Newburyport on the Newburyport line and the southern most station is Wickford Junction on the Providence line.
@@rail_spike_productions Thank you for the information on the lines of service. For the life of me? I couldn't remember the full extent of line service the B&M MBTA train serves. Lol still looks as if they actually have more commuter train service than freight trains still running up there🤭 Anyway thanks for the great videos and reply.
Those are indeed some long trains
That was my goal here! lol
I love it
I remember the MBTA used to run special services to Foxboro for large events. Those trains got *long*
BRO I DEFINITELY SEE A NEW YEAR ABOUT THE TRAIN(2021)
Boston, USA, 2nd floor passenger car
This vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Rotem in South Korea.
I remember pre-covid the 404 Fitchburg to Boston express was often a seven car set (long for Northside standards) and the 508 was nine doubles.
5:58 Nodoka Hanadera He's carrying those types of wagons I didn't imagine that, brother.
it looks kinda weird when locomotives are sandwiched between the single-level/double-decker levels.
I feel save in the train and I love train ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The slow one make a music beat
What is the Readville Switcher? Also, what was the MBTA's purpose of those extremely long commuter trains?

It’s my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed
What’s the second stop location I need to take a bus from there
My apologies for the late reply, but all of the locations where the videos were taken are listed in the description
I like it!
Thank you
Классно!
I didn't know MBTA Commuter pull Freight Trains as Well, i thought they only pull Passengers
MBTA runs work trains from time to time, normally as a result of track work
@@rail_spike_productions oh, like Track Maintenance
Exactly
@@rail_spike_productions Do they Carry the Fuel tanker with them to Refuel the Diesels?
Nope, the only tankers they use are water tankers for other reasons
I Seen Some Rare Trains At Newmarket

Probably will be moving away from them, and keep doing what I did with this one
I don’t blame yah. Intros are cool til u realize there are better ways to start a video. Lol
@@rail_spike_productionsI agree
