Hi Lonestar! Can you just comment on this comment? That’ll be so cool love all your videos have seen 160 out of 162! You’re so cool keep on going with all your amazing content!😊
Hate to be the definition of the 🤓 emoji, but the double decker coach in your train set was actually built by Kawasaki in the 90s. The coaches numbered 700-781 and 1700-1724 were rebuilt by alstom and look identical to the Hyundai coaches now. The kawasaki you rode on however, was one of the coaches the MBTA left out of the rebuild (numbered 900-932). These coaches can be distinguished by if they have an LED sign indicating the direction of travel on the outside.
Haha it's all good. I appreciate all comments, so no worries. Interesting that 900-932 were left out of the rebuild by Alstom. Possibly because they're newer?
@@LonestarTrips Nope all built the same year. All I could imagine is that similar to some of the single level coaches, their body(s) aged like fine milk and have been corroded, and the MBTA plans to get rid of the 900 series kawasakis.
That train boarded from the ground level most likely due to an overshoot. The furthest door from the loco of the car next to the locomotive and/or the closest door of the car 2 cars away from the locomotive are usually the doors that are positioned at "Mini-Highs", but seeing how only the closest door of the car next to the locomotive was on that platform, it's clear the train overshot by a bit. Funnily enough, I've seen multiple occurences where the train overshoots the doors that are supposed to be on the platform, but not by enough to where the next door would be on it, resulting in no doors on the mini-high.
You should add accessibility information on all stations you make use of. Unclear how wheelchair users make use of the elevated platform in Haverhill, and clearly a problem if there were a dozen people in wheel chairs who needed access, as the train would have to board them on different cars.

Nice video!

that should be enough to extend the line into new hampshire.
Im not really a fan of the motive power locomotives. They look dated, and i think they should get siemens ventures or just chargers

Poor bus connections aren’t helping
