    Great to see old abandoned rail service restored for service . Way too many tracks have been removed when there are customers that really need rail car access . A friend of mine had to go through a bunch of stuff to get rail service restored . It cost him quite a bit but it'll pay for itself in a very short time period . He was so happy when he got his first car spotted . Very good video .

    Very cool. Thanks for posting. It was very active there in the late 80’s early 90’s when Raytheon was in the park and manufactured the communication vans and hummer “campers” for the Army. I lived across the highway on the lake before any of this was built. Old enough to have seen trains on the Fall River line in Mansfield before it became a walking trail.

      True. My dad said that someone wanted to reactivate a 4 mile line to provide jobs to a depressed small town in western PA, but NIMBYs said no. The plant would've produced up to 400 jobs, but they needed the rail to ship out oversized equipment. The 400 jobs went to North Carolina.

    This is really cool! Good to see the right thing happening. I've come across this spur on google maps before - and I remember being disappointed that the line had been severed at the crossing, making an overall abandonment and tearing up much more likely - I would never have assumed that a business might take on the endeavour of bringing the spur back to life! Well done, Musket Corp.!

      The Grafton and Upton Railroad appears to be one such case. Sometime later, I would like to go out to downtown Milford, MA and check out the new connection between the G&U RR and the CSX's Milford Running Track at South Cedar Street. So far, using Google's Earth street view feature, I am able to see a partially finished connection at this location. (Strange as it may seem Earth's sky view feature, taken back in 2013, still shows the remnant rails in the S. Cedar Street's grade crossing from the former connection. This sky view photohas yet to be updated!)

    It's really nice to see railroad service being restored somewhere.
    That brings a glimmer of hope for a unique form of transportation some people take for granted nowadays. I mean, trains are more fuel-efficient than tractor-trailer trucks, free up highway space, and carry more cargo. Yes, maintaining and operating a railroad is expensive, but it can pay for itself and give rail fans a nice show.

      I believe the customer always pays the rehab bill for their spur and siding. They are receiving Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), a liquid used to reduce the amount of air pollution created by a diesel engine. In that, I am sure, your tax dollars, either from the State or Fed, were used since this is a GREEN initiative.

    • @StevieWonder737

    Using 3 GP40-2 locomotives (over 9000 hp) to move just one or two freight cars seems like overkill and a massively overpowered train. Is this the result of poor management or are those four tankers deceivingly heavy? Perhaps 300 ton loads each for a total of 12000 tons? At least then it justifies the 3 locomotives attached.

      @@SouthCoastRailVideos That may be so, but industry switching is either done by a local yard or a way freight with one or possibly two locos. You dont want every train picking up or setting out cars, thus tying up the main lines.
      For instance We would get our train at St.Paul MN and drop the train at Glenwood yard but we did not stop to pickup cars enroute, that was the way freights job.
      If a train was getting close to where the way freight was going to do some switching, the dispatcher would have them pull into a siding so the other train/s can pass first. then the way freight can do their job.

    Why do they use 3 powerful engines to shunt only one or two trucks? That cannot make money, can it?

    • @SouthCoastRailVideos

      They have other work to do before and after switching this customer. There’s no point in going this far with the rest of their train either.

      Makes sense, many thanks for your kind reply.

    Why the use of a flagman at the intersection when there are lights there?

    Three engines for main line local?

      They have a number of customers this same train serves but they cut off from their other cars to serve this customer

    Love to see old rail come back to life. But come on, you’ve got 9000 hp and those three jeeps moving a couple of cars around no wonder the railroads went broke what a monumental waste of fuel when people are already complaining about the planet. I’m not an environmentalist, but CSX, you got to do better than this an MP 15 or a 600 hp switcher can do the same thing.

      These engines cut off from the rest of their train to do this move. No need to lug a dozen loaded demo cars to this industry with no space to put them.

    Who pays for this to be reconnected and fixed? The new customer? Local government? Csx? I’m guessing it depends on who owns that area? I think my local city government owns the spur that goes through my town. I wonder if they pay for the upkeep, though csx delivers on it, and still just to a single customer for about 1.5 miles of track.

      It always depends. In this case I believe it was at least partially paid for by the customer.

      It had not been placed in service yet

      One could see that the flashing lights were "bagged over," using a black plastic wrap covering over them. When they are ready to put the flashers into service, the bagging material will be removed.

    Why are they using 3 locomotives ?.
    It seems like they only need 1

    • @SouthCoastRailVideos

      They cut off from their other cars to switch this customer. At times this train does need a lot of power to pull long cuts of loaded demo cars.

    I noticed the crossing protection worked in the beginning not the end. Also the state had to pay for all that track rehabilitation , no way CSX paid for that. Unfortunately those customers after a year go back to trucks.

      Thanks for watching and I doubt they’ll go to trucks

      @bailey-critter they have a sister company in bow, nh. They tried rail there (pan am) and they lost a ton of product in spoilage. I don't know if they pulled the plug at Burke at the same time because of that incident.
