Boston & Maine in Film

A collection of Boston & Maine clips from the 1950s through the 1970s. Many of the scenes are on the Connecticut River Line with CP run-through power. Thanks to Walt Berko of Railroad Video for the bulk of the material. I've had this put together for a while waiting to add sound, but other commitments have taken a lot of my spare time so I've chosen to publish it anyway.

Always nice to see film of the B&M, my home railroad when i grew up in the 1960s -70s 👍
Nice old footage of C&O GP30 leased power by the CP on the Conn. River line pool trains in the 70s & 80s and around Bellows Falls, VT. and "No" Graffiti !! The Best Era to Railfan well before Mega mergers 1st & 2nd Gen power everywhere in Conn. River, East Deerfield, Ayer, Lawrence, South Portland but East Deerfield was the Best place to be ! 👍

This was the Boston and Maine railroad back then and long before the Guilford system and later CSX

Great footage even without sound. I assume the passenger consist with the F40PH at each end was a fantrip?

[@fmnut]

I believe so. The film was an ebay purchase and had no information included as to dates, locations or circumstances.

Why is it, that anytime that I see a video on B&M, i watch it, and am happy to see it--- but --- at the same time very sad to know its gone.

[@fmnut]

It's called nostalgia.
