Nice video excellent my friends like 👍🏻 and Greeting 🙋🏻‍♂️

The ctc-4s, btc-4s, btc-1bs, ctc-5s, btc-1as, btc-4as, btc-4bs and btc-1cs don’t have restrooms why? Every coach should have one. Is it that cab cars never have a restroom because they have an operators cabin near where the bathroom would be at the front? The ctc-3s had restrooms and they were cab cars, I don’t understand.

1:49, there are two rare coaches: a first class coach (514) and ski car (219) which runs on the MBTA’s Wachusett Ski Train to Wachusett Mountain on the Fitchburg Line. Surprisingly I’ve seen that coach (514) on the CapeFLYER a couple of times.

Screw the old equipment, we need to get the new rotems to the north. The south always get the new and good looking equipment, while the north we’re stuck with one non-rebuilt 900-series k car on a trainset. Which are dirty and have windows that are all scratched up as well as the windows having years of ultraviolet clouding on them from the sun. Also, sorry about the harsh language. But, we really need to get the new equipment up here.

Great video.

If this were 1890, there would be a pair of cross compound 2 8 0 s pulling a 600 ton train

Great scene ! No doubt the P32 on the point with extra cars had joined the Cardinal at Indianapolis with those cars having received attention at Beech Grove ?

Metra’s f40phm locomotives look fancy and not look like they were manufactured in the mid 1990s with that new paint scheme. Nice train action in Chicago. 👍

I like Amtrak’s Dash 8 units. They had a previous paint scheme that earned them the nickname “Pepsi Cans”. What made you go all the way to Chicago? I’m curious. You like the trains down there?

I enjoyed the video and I like your profile picture of a freshly cleaned refurbished gp40 1117 😊

1134 needs rebuild, lol. 😅

1054 and 1068 seem to be the two most unreliable 3Cs in my opinion. I’m sure there’s more, but those two seem to be breaking down every other day. The 1068 died at ruggles on train 816 on the morning of 01/26/2022. Also, the 1051 test extra had to rescue it.

Wow! That’s a very great catch!

Somebody spray painted “Keolis sucks” on the back top of Locomotive 1135, did anybody else see that at 1:16?

Behind dharma uveitis nights always always happened when the black one was made known about kids movie 🎥 trains 🚂 one time 😅

7:25, What happened? I see 3C 1075 has a small dent on its nose just below the headlight.

Mbta should really consider getting chargers? A dual-mode variant like metro-north’s sc-42dms. I’m still wondering if the hsp46s were a mistake given all of their reliability problems in recent years, Lol. I wonder if my term of unreliability is correct?

Why were 855, 1837 and 1840 on the middleboro extra equipment move? Was this for their testing?

Train track

That train is very nice

My favorite of all of the Crossings in the video is the East Cabot St. Crossing, the one with the Crossing Tender. That's my 3rd favorite Rail-Road Crossing overall. I was annoyed though when I rail fanned there back in late March 2023, that both Trains did not have any Double Decker Coaches. I'm glad that they got rid of the Single Level Cab Cars last month so now each Train has at least one Double Decker Coach, Sooner or later, I'm going to go back to that crossing and record a new video.

lol the dog barking at essex street 💀

The cursed gp40s, lol. 1131 and 1135 should both be rebuilt. The 1136 is rebuilt but still having problems, “Way to go Rochester”.

The 1135 sounded like it wasn’t even on or was the 2017 rescuing it at 8:53? Sorry if I’m asking, I’m confused. Because it was a doubleheader.

Only 23 1700s are active now since 1718 is out of service from a collision and I bet it’ll be out of operation for over a year. Hope it’ll be repaired and not scrapped. It reminds me of 1710 which was involved in a sideswipe with an excavator on the Franklin Line on October 17, 2006. The excavator wasn’t sturdy on its trucks and tipped over off of them and struck 1710 on its side. The car was sent to Kawasaki Rail Car in Yonkers for repairs in fall 2007 and arrived back the following year. In May 2011, the car was considered damaged beyond repair with one side covered in blue, sad. 😢😢 In October 2013, 1710 along with 511, 1525 and 612 were one step closer to going bye-bye forever. By the afternoon of April 23, 2014, the 511, 1525, 612 and 1710 were all gone in existence and never to be seen again. The excavator was doing some track work on the line at the time of the accident. Luckily this one will be repaired and not scrapped, only minor damage reported, thank god. I can’t bear to lose another 1700.

Awesome video I might have to check out some of these spots.

MBTA is always full of surprises, from double-drafts, to equipment moves, triple-drifts and to rescuing passenger trains such as Amtrak.

It’s crazy how there’s so many quiet zones.

Excellent video my friends

Sick!

Oooo

Engine sounding like a GP-40 😮😮😮😮😮

An all MBB consist on the north side is rare, nice catch. 😊 Nice catch of 1528 also. 👍

What was 145 doing in Boston? Rare to see that heritage unit come down here.

11:08, Waaa, I miss that horn. 1628’s horn is a blessing to listen to.

Love 1723’s horn. Its horn is probably one of the decent ones on the k cars.

Great video and good variety of locos. Since you made this video last April, I understand that all MBTA trains out of North station now have bi-level cab-control cars ?😊

Very excited for the new rotems and for the old ones to go back north.

The only thing that happened is that, we no longer have 1718 with us , so it’s getting repaired, but it’s horn is very nice

Excellent video my friends awesome like 👍🏻 Greeting 👋🏻

1054 sounds a little like an HSP to me. If I compared 1054 to an HSP, they would both sound very similar.

Wait, 1129 has been refurbished for this year’s rail fan day in the Cape. I had no idea. Sad I didn’t know a head of time.

Wow, that train at 11:48 was flying, OMG. 😮

11:17, nice horn from 1630. Too bad it’s already gone. Going to miss the horns from the CTC-1Bs. They had great horns, for sure.

I’m excited to see MBTA finally getting new trains since it hasn’t upgraded its commuter rail equipment since the 1970s, that’s like almost 50 years. But, I’m sad to see the single-level coaches go.

idc what other people say i kinda like 1711s horn

That was an amazing video I heard that Geep 1129 has been refurbished and is going to be at Cape Cod rail fan day in August saw a Pic yesterday it looks nice

Nice video, sad seeing the flats go. Also excited for the new bilevels and the future or the Mbta Commuter rail.

MBTA really needs to consider extending to NH and Maine, but I know that’s probably still way far in the future. Rare to see an MBTA locomotive providing power for a Amtrak Downeaster train all the way to Maine. GP40 1137 to the rescue. 😊 This proves it can do just about anything, hard worker for such an old engine.

So, 2028’s 6-car set connected to the 4-car set and towed it back to Boston as a double draft, I’m all confused? 🤔
