The Grafton and Upton Railroad seems to be thriving! I love seeing short line railroads making a big comeback. I only hope the Bay Colony Railroad can do the same.
@@jorgecortes9487 why did the lost the other lines in Cape Cod? Why are they clowns? Did the G&U end up buying the Mass Coastal from Iowa Pacific (Ellis)?
Thrilled to see this!! I hope this means many companies are now switching to more economical and environmentally sustainable rail freight!! I hope the short lines of New England are getting lots of new business!!
I agree it's a great video double thumbs up Before next year I gotta make that crossing an active crossing we're crossing gates and whites Before next year I gotta make that crossing an active crossing we're crossing gates and Flashing red light
the welder's gona love that horn..,.,. you know the saying "": not in my back yard" , well I can hear all this new activity .,., It is a bit away and distant on the wind ,. but You hear it now more.,.,If I ever want to go be a Hobo I can get on right in my own back yard .,.,
Still confused about how this could possibly happen?. Barely anything in 80's. Nothing at all until 2012. I would have been impressed if they were only bringing in a car a week by now but how could this happen? Especially considering there is no more draper building?
Draper closed but other businesses that use rail were found and transload at this location. GU likely used a good marketing team to get these customers shipping by rail.
One more thing, I was there the other day and they were pushing the short covered hoppers with the graffiti into the green building with a front end loader. Wonder what they load or unload there? Crushed glass?
Love seeing how much success Grafton and Upton is having !

The issue with the Bay Colony is the owners. They are a bunch of clowns. One can only hope for the BCLR to make a comeback.

Great footage! I just keep hearing “Conjunction Junction “ playing in my head as I watch. All that is needed are the “AND”, “BUT”, and “OR” cars.
It’s really impressive and appreciated by me how far you go to bring us these video’s! Great videos!
Thank you!

Around my area RR s are pulling up rails and making them into trails.

Been automatically nteredtedin this railroad since i read about in in an older issue of trains magazine
Thanks for watching!
The Economy must be picking up back East. So many restored short lines and yards
Hooking up cars and booking😁,
One more thing, I was there the other day and they were pushing the short covered hoppers with the graffiti into the green building with a front end loader. Wonder what they load or unload there? Crushed glass?
It could be rock salt.
Yes, crushed glass
Can't remember now, but did that track have Pandrol clips after they rebuilt it the first time? Or did that come a few years later?
Most of the yard track was rebuilt last year with clips.
What RR do they pick up and drop off from?
CSX at North Grafton, MA
Those locos sure are hideous.
Would help a lot if they paint them to G & U colors. Does Tony still work there? If not maybe that's why they don't.
They really need to paint them!
