  • Welcome aboard Amtrak Downeaster Train #683 with from Boston, Massachusetts' North Station to Brunswick, Maine! Today our train is lead by a GE Genesis P42DC locomotive pulling 5 Amfleet I coaches with an ex-EMD F40PH NPCU trailing on the rear. Our stops along the way will be Woburn-Anderson, Haverhill, Exeter, Durham-UNH, Dover, Wells, Saco-Biddeford, Old Orchard Beach, Portland, and Freeport.
    The Amtrak Downeaster is one of Amtrak's most unique routes when it comes to the lines it uses, as there are many different pathways that trains take. The Downeaster uses MBTA's Haverhill Line from North Station to up until the Wilmington MBTA station where it uses the MBTA Wildcat Branch to join the MBTA's Haverhill Line in Andover (Ballardville), MA. The Haverhill Line then continues up until the Massachusetts-New Hampshire state line where the trackage then joins the Pan Am Railways Main Line for the rest of the journey up until the last mile of track which is owned by the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT). All of the lines used and seen in the video were once part of the Boston and Maine Railroad's Mai Line. Amtrak Downeaster service originally began in December 2001, with service to Freeport and Brunswick commencing in November 2012. Unlike most other Amtrak routes, the Downeaster is separated from the rest of Amtrak's network due to the lack of a direct connection between Boston's North Station and the other stations in the area. Most of the track is double-tracked on the MBTA-owned lines, but North of Haverhill the line is mostly single-tracked with occasional double-track sections. Pan Am Railways also runs frequent freight service along the line between Haverhill and Portland's Rigby Yard.
    Sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the journey! :)

    As an additional note, for those that have never taken this train, perhaps a brief review of the amenities would also help "sell" the DownEaster Service

      On airplanes, at least, the reason must be comfort since the seats have gotten closer together, not as much personal space.

      As an 18 year old, I love to see people dressed up to travel too. I love to watch older game shoes and I see people are always dressed so nicely.
