    Please keep this railroad running for a long time. It's a part of our history.

    It would be cool to have some locomotives in the old Bay Colony paint, just changing the words to Mass Coastal

    Did foamers steal the number boards off the BCLR units, or did the railroad remove them?
    Nice video btw!

      @@SouthCoastRailVideos We used to get a thrill riding one of the trestles down there. It had a visible sag to the water line. The loaded potato cars added a unique stress to the track structure. Watuppa yard had a stationary derrick that was used into the 70's. Before I hired out I used to go to soccer games that were held by Portuguese clubs, French too, from around the area, at a field close to the yard. Standing room only. Great contests.
