MBTA Commuter Rail on the Newburyport/Rockport Line - April 2024

Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the video. If you are new here, my channel mostly consists of railroad videography from around the Northeastern USA.

About this video: On my channel, I post monthly videos compiled of clips of MBTA commuter trains on the Newburyport/Rockport Line, the eastern most commuter rail line on the north side of MBTA’s system. The line runs from Boston’s North Station to Beverly, where it then splits and continues on to both Newburyport and Rockport. In the April 2024 edition, clips that appear were filmed in the following towns: Beverly, Manchester, Hamilton, and Ipswich, Massachusetts.

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

[@rail_spike_productions]

Indeed - the 1718 is the one that hit a car in Beverly a few months back

[@Jessicake244]

@@rail_spike_productions I know 👍🏽, but it might take a year to get repaired 🙁

[@samstranghorwitz]

I think I saw it readville yard

@@samstranghorwitz Really, that’s good, I think it’s just it needs a new plow and then it’s all set to go

[@anthonywarrener1881]

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 ?😊

[@rail_spike_productions]

Thank you - and yes (pardon my backlog of uploads), you are correct about the bi-level control cars

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.

[@ericschwartz3559]

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.

[@ericschwartz3559]

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

[@rail_spike_productions]

Indeed it was. That’s about the fastest they can go on the Gloucester branch

[@jasonhadfield1551]

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

[@rail_spike_productions]

Very glad you enjoyed. I’m glad everyone is enjoying the 1129 so far, the paint scheme has been worked on for quite some time

[@jasonhadfield1551]

@@rail_spike_productions u are very welcome

[@samstranghorwitz]

It has a e bell right

[@ericschwartz3559]

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

[@ericschwartz3559]

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.

[@rail_spike_productions]

Cape Cod railfans day isn’t for another month, there’s still plenty of time to see it

[@samstranghorwitz]

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

[@rail_spike_productions]

Thanks very much, and I agree with you on both aspects

idc what other people say i kinda like 1711s horn

[@rail_spike_productions]

I don’t mind it, but I’m not much of a horn critique myself
