A short chase from Hopedale MA Distribution Center to Milford MA. GATX 326, GU 1160 and GU 1191. Some initial activity in the Hopedale Distribution Center as they prepare for the trip to Bellingham/Franklin. The new crossing lights and gates are not active yet on Cape Road / Route 140 in Milford. Depot Street in Milford is where they reverse direction with GU 1191 & 1160 taking the lead.

I haven’t uploaded in a while but hope to add more in the coming months. Caught GU 1158 & 1191 and three cars crossing route 16 in Hopedale MA. This train was heading back from Bellingham and into the Hopedale Distribution Center. The intersection and crossing are currently being upgraded and this crossing will soon have new signals and gates as part of that upgrade. GU 1158 & 1191 are former C...

Was able to finally catch some switching in Hopedale. GU 1191 & 1158 doing all the work. These two are former CSX MP15ACs. I was experimenting with my iPhone so I started out in cinematic mode and then switched to video. Great zoom functionality on the iPhone 13. Enjoy the sights and sounds.

Grafton & Upton Railroad - Hopedale to Upton - MP15 struggles on the grade
Просмотров 4,2 тыс.3 года назад
Chasing GU 1158 & GU 1160 from Hopedale MA to Upton MA. The tank cars were fully loaded and you’ll see as they cross Chestnut Street in Upton it took two attempts to climb the grade. The normal crossing guard, if that’s what you call him, was not available so the train needed to slow at the non-signalized crossings. GU 1158 & 1160 are former CSX MP15s. Enjoy!

Mini chase from Hopedale to Upton MA. The train was waiting at the Hopedale Distribution Center for the maintenance crew to clear the track. GU 1158 was pulling and GU 1191 was pushing the cars back to North Grafton. Both are former CSX MP15s. The first part of the video was a little shaky due to proximity of the camera to the track. I’d like to thank the driver of the white truck at the end of...

    I remember back in the 1980s this section looked like it was out of service, and I saw it become more overgrown with every year until they finally removed the crossing tracks and lights. I thought trains here were gone for good. Would never have imagined they would be back almost 40 years later.

    I will never understand why when firefighters are at a fire there's so many of them standing around doing nothing but watching

    • @centralmassflicks8722
      @centralmassflicks8722 Год назад

      Hi Lara - the simple answer is that firefighters are part of a crew and the crews need to rotate in and out of the fire. If there's heavy interior work they only have so much air and need to be rotated. So they're really not doing nothing, just waiting for an assignment.

    • @danielebrparish4271
      @danielebrparish4271 Год назад

      Sometimes it's because it is a volunteer fire department and whoever shows up is what you have to work with. If it's a weekend there can be a lot of people unless it is opening day of hunting season. If it's a workday, it can take hours for volunteers to arrive if they commute to work. A half dozen or so of those firefighters are tanker truck drivers who shuttle water to the firetrucks from the nearest fire hydrant.

    Great video. At the beginning of the drone video at the south end, any idea what that is they’re unloading out of those hoppers? Looks a little too light colored to be sand, but it must be pretty heavy because those are small hoppers.

    The crossing gates at Cape Rd were recently installed. It's a pity to see that they're not yet working. Gates were also installed at the main st just south of the Hopedale yard. The Depot St crossing was rebuilt around the same time, but sadly, gates weren't installed there.

    Hopefully one day soon the railroad will properly label their locomotives with something a little better than just a black "GU" on a white background covering the old CSX markings. Shows a little pride in the company and probably wouldn't cost much. Nice video from the multiple locations.

    It's so great to see that line active. I would like to see them gain and expand their customers. Rail is the way to move anything that needs to be shipped. Do they operate passenger excursions on that line? Seems like I remember that they had a passenger engine in prior years videos. (the kitty's pal-allen from Ga)

    • @centralmassflicks8722
      @centralmassflicks8722 2 года назад

      From what I've read they're definitely looking to expand their customer base especially between Milford and Franklin. Back in 2014/2015 they ran a Polar Express excursion around the holidays. The cost was most likely the reason to not continue. The railroad owner also owns Edavillle Railroad so it makes sense to concentrate on that versus expanding excursions.
