Growing up in Waltham this video brings back a lot o memories. Great video

I love 4-4-0's. They are/were some of the most beautiful and coolest locomotives out there. Eureka & Palisade #4 "Eureka", a 3 foot gauge american from 1875 as one of many 8-18C's is what I think about when someone says 4-4-0. And of course you can't forget the General, Jupiter, 119, Leviathan and, because I am a little biased, NYC&HR RR 999.

Who saw the 504 @ 6:39 ?

Steam locomotive enthusiasts, unite!

My dad bought the abandoned station in Henniker after he was displaced by the flood control project.

Steamtown USA in Bellows Falls was transferred to Scranton , PA, where it eventually morphed into Steamtown National Historic Site.

THANK YOU FOR DETAIL VIDEO

So many memories thankyou.

Excellent job. Love the history and old footage. Brings back memories Greatly appreciated 👏👏

Great job, thanks for this. I grew up in Keene starting in 68, as a kid remember hopping the trains from eastern ave to down town. As an adult i lived in Walpole and Bellows Falls. While i lived in BF i took amtrack to Montreal a couple times, back when all you needed was an ID to cross into Canada.

Well done 👍

i was born in Fitchburg, (shhhhh) lol, was ten when i moved out, ended up in Worcester, which I love, given the choices as where should one live in MA. anyways, great video! as a kid, the trains were all B&M,, including the cabooses of course. Along side of rt 12 from Fitchburg to Worcester, you can see a rail bed, as it was, i often wondered if it was a trolly line. yeah, that's a different subject. i have no idea if there was a busy train line from the two cities.(btw, I'm 60 now) Hope you've had a chance to see Worcester's train station. i was a driver years ago, used a lot of rt. 2A,,, you know, the part next to the river where the river flows up hill, lol. You make great videos.

Really enjoy your series on B&M. Keep up the good work.

Well researched, including many vintage photographs. Good job!

On the Long Island,the H Class Consols,were the general purpose engines,even pulling passengers! The New Haven,in the same Territory as the B&M,used Moguls,and only had about a handful of Consols! And over on the B&A there was a considerable number of G Class Consols! When those lines,paralleled,each other,engine spotting must have been most interesting,as the only source of data,was the RAILROAD magazine! And the Boston area,was awash in multiple lines,in every direction! History strikes again,and thank you,for getting the B&M side! Thank you 😇 😊!

CSX now owns the tracks here, at least that likely an improvement over Pan Am Railways

❤❤❤

Thank you for your great video. We recently relocated to Hillsboro, New Hampshire from New York. And love learning about your new homes history.

That was cool I grew up in Wilton. Stewart Draper was my neighbor. He was a strong member of Wilton he got part of the rails to run pleasure trips on that rail line, unfortunately I moved out of Wilton before he started that endevor. I did however partake in driving a 68 plymoth fury from Lyndeboro to Wilton on the rails by deflating the tires some, it fit perfect we actually the three of us climbed out on the hood for a ways just idling down the tracks! We got on the tracks just past the Lyndeboro store past Quinn pits and rode them to the Wilton Post office, A memory I will never forget!

Wow this is a really great production!

Great video tonight thanks for sharing.

Love seeing the different footage.

Thanks for this history. My ancestor, Efraim Whitcomb, was a conductor on the Keene line when the station first opened. He lived in S. Swanzey, N.H. I'd like to find a picture of him. The list that you supplied at the end should give me some leads.

I'm from BF my grandfather Maurice Kelly Sr worked for B+M

I love train history. My father worked for Southern Pacific so I got lots of train rides on the Oregon coast in the entire 80's and early 90's .Everything trains reminds me of my father .great video.

What, maybe two cars had graffiti? Curious

It's amazing to think those operated on the sharp radii from Greenfield to the tunnel!

What is the cause of that unusual sound you describe as a "1-2-3 rhythm"? It is quite different than other locomotives...

Really enjoy seeing these RR movies from the mid-1960s to mid-'70s - back when I was doing most of my railfan activity as a teen/young adult. Brings back pleasant memories of hours spent watching trains at trackside.

Hello there I've really enjoyed your series i wanted to ask about one of these engines 1451, can you tell me anything about her working life

The real entertainment is looking for rick in the background.

That was a very enjoyable video

I have had the opportunity to watch a number of these videos and I just wanted to say how well done they are. Keep up the great work!

Loved seeing these views of the B&M. And special notice to all those boxcars with fallen flag logos.

thank you video

Fantastic video! That’s the B&M I grew up with. Brings back so many great memories!!

Awesome. I was only 3 1/2 to 4, during those years. I do remember seeing the blue B&M running through Haverhill, MA. Hearing the Midnight fright running through from Riverside in Haverhill.

this was my era of trains. I lived in Fitch urg, shhhh don't tell anyone, lol

WOW!! If there ever was a RR that needed to come back,it was the B&M--- but just as it was shown here. Just perfect !!!!!

7:20

Great movies !!

All of your videos are well produced. Alco RS’s are one of my favorite engines.

Wow! I loved every second of the video, thanks to everyone involved in saving these Super8 footage!🇺🇸

it would be interesting if you model the B&M and gave it a better fictional history than what happen after it was acquired.

do they still load this way also...very cool

I grew up in henniker live in antrim i remember the day the kids burned the Hillsboro covered rail bridge do you know when the last train went to henniker

My understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) when a railroad is abandoned the state of NH retains the right of way in case they need it in the future. At least that's how it was explained to me 40 years ago. Other states haven't been so far-sighted.

What a great video. I had never heard about the effort to put Steamtown in Keene. Too bad it didn't happen. Just little FYI. I grew up in that part of NH and I have always heard Ashuelot pronounced as Ash-wool-it.

Will you guys ever do a video on some of the stations in NY? Eagle bridge is still there and unlike the other remaining NY Boston and Maine stations it isn’t someone’s house now. I wish the Troy-Boston line still ran.
