Being from Bucks Co.,PA.but have relatives in the Marshfield area,I never thought I'd EVER see the Greenbush rehabbed,and the T running thru Plymouth,too!!The'38 hurricane wiped alot out,and it thought the lines would never come back.Boy,has it been needed for decades!!3 and 3A aren't too bad,congestion-wise,but 3 and 128,along with 93 and 95?!?!Forget it!!This has been needed for decades.A train ran thru Marshfield at one time,but tracks were pulled up long ago,again probably from the '38 hurricane.Went out over the North River,bridge and trestles got wiped,and line was abandoned.
@@stormrail4540 Thanks for the reply,sir!!!I had always assumed that the '38 hurricane was the reason for the dismantling of 5he line going thru Summer St.and Pleasant St.in Marshfield Hills,coming from Damond's Point on the river,and of course,the bridge at Damond's Point,but a couple years after,in about'40-'41,the tracks were pulled up.I still think the hurricane
@@stormrail4540 I still think the hurricane messed up the bridge over the North River probably enough to send the line into being abandoned and dismantled,especially with the war effort,and the need for metal at the time.
I meant 3 from North of Marshfield does get congested,but not too bad near the exit for rt.139 for Marshfield-then to the South Shore?!!In summer?!?!!Use the shoulder!!!!
Not yet! However I am planning to the Lowell crossings on the 28th weather permitting. I will also be doing part of the Haverhill Line on the 29th weather permitting, however I am not sure when I will be finishing that one yet.
I Need to start doing this only problem, i dont have many _operational_ rr crossings around me (not many trains in ohio, altho i could do the fostoria district
Best on time performance of any line in system
One railroad crossing Has The WCH E Bell
Why do they use different railroad crossing equipment on the green bush line than all the other lines?
A lot of legal mitigation on this line because it was abandoned for so long
every single bell is the exact same
All MBTA lines have the exact same bell on each crossing 💀
This line really has some beautiful views to offer. Sucks that its all quiet zoned though, hopefully SCR doesn't end up the same.
Can you do all railroad crossings on the Framingham/Worcester line? I know there’s only 5 of them but that would be something I’d like to watch
I was actually already planning to do so on the 29th weather permitting!
Great catch John. I just looked up on Google Earth and there is a new e bell on Beaver Dam Road.
There’s a WCH e bell at Beaver Dam Road.
Maybe it’s a type 4.

Yep it's been back since 2007, and I did visit the old location of the Marshfield station in one of my videos

@@ronmartin4793 yeah that I'm not sure of, all I know is it was an Old Colony Line Railroad
@@ronmartin4793 definitely possible

Have you done the ones on the Lowell or Haverhill lines?
Not yet! However I am planning to the Lowell crossings on the 28th weather permitting. I will also be doing part of the Haverhill Line on the 29th weather permitting, however I am not sure when I will be finishing that one yet.
@@stormrail4540 Cool!
Yay!
This is my Local Commuter Rail line! I don't get to use it as much as I would like too. I have a video of the full length of this line.
Excuse me, what is your name?
John

Yeah and it's also more complicated without a steady frequent schedule of passenger trains. You'd have to mainly wait around for freight
