For the first time in 30+ years a train ventured onto the former Revere, Copper, & Brass spur in New Bedford, MA. This first train was a test train of the locomotives ahead of the train that will deliver the first railcars when they come in. The siding has been rebuilt for use by "Shoreline Resources" who is building a shipyard at the former Revere Industries site. In this video we see Mass Coastal MC-4 creeping onto and off of the siding directed by Mass Coastal personnel. Stay tuned for more footage of this siding in revenue service.

I'm so Happy to continue to see this Railroad getting more business and keep growing...
This is history and then making for sure the newly restored industry siding has seen the first train in 30 years glad to see that it’s gonna be put back to use
This is a very pleasant video. A child on a bike crosses at 2:26; railfans mill about at 3:02.
To see service restored to this siding is excellent.
Thrilled to see Mass Coastal getting a new customer!!!
This is great to see. It's so cool seeing rail reactivated like this. I am specially anxious to see what happens at the southern end of line where a new rail line has been suggested.
I will be doing a video on that southern extension soon infact it’s currently in my editor. Unfortunately I haven’t heard of any progress on it’s planning as of late.
Great to see it reactivated though
I'm surprised they didn't rip up the track after all that time. It seems like nowadays if the track doesn't get used after 10 years they turn it into a bike trail lol
Fortunately this was a short spur that wasn’t in the way of anything so it survived. A section of it was buried under landscaping though but they were smart enough not to remove it.
Ain’t that the Truth !!!
Railroads seems to be making a comeback. I love it ❤️😘
Nice to see them getting more traffic and now if the short line that connects to them could get more business that would be great
Those locos are beautiful.
Awesomesauce!!!
Too Cool 😃 You should of busted a bottle of champagne on the front plow of the lead unit
Nice shots! I can't believe I was able to see this
Thank you! You’re EXTREMELY lucky man!!
3815 looks like the old Chinese red with gray topped Burlington Route of the midwest.
Very good news.
The streets around the rails were in rough condition, too. I wish I had taken a test drive around the area, like the railroaders used the locomotives. I wanted to find out if my wife was ticklish so I gave her a coupe of test tickles
Very nice! Now it's time to slap up some signals!👍👍👍👍
It's a spur track/siding, good luck with that, to expensive for the city/town to put up signals, more likely just crossbucks(as was probably there before).
I like the fusees, old school.
Wonderful
How do you catch absolutely everything going on on the Mass Coastal? Have a friend who works for them or something? Impressive coverage.
Great is it next year the commuter rail trains run?
Yes but they won’t run on these tracks. This is a freight only spur.
First train in 30 years AND their first DARWIN AWARD WINNER right off the bat. 2 firsts in one. Guess the guy in the car at the end of the video was to special to wait for the engine to cross, after all of course the engines could easily stop and wait for the tin hat driver right?
AWESOME!!!💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
woah thats cool
Just for the halibut, I searched to see what kind of cars would this siding be used for. I found the plans that showed a single tank car spotted at the end of the track next to "fuel blending tanks". I also just read your post about steel cars so I guess this will have multiple uses which is great.
Can you send the link to the plans? The ones I saw lacked a tank car so what you found is pretty cool!
@@SouthCoastRailVideos Sure thing. Rendering on page 15:

Not sure if you tried replying but it’s showing “2 replies” while only 1 loads. I tried looking into the plans but didn’t find anything with fuel tanks. If you’re able to pull them up be sure to post the link.
@@SouthCoastRailVideos I see it above (second reply). Try again: portofnewbedford.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-04-27-FINAL-_-SER-Presentation.pdf

Let’s go!
How did the people that restored the track restore it? did the construction workers go through the pavement in the yard to dig/ grind it to get to the rails and the tie’s?
Everything was removed then completely replaced. I don’t think was much grinding but rather a lot of digging up since everything was going in new.
good stuff
Me: *pumping his arm up and down*
Also me: “For fuck sakes, blow the God damn horn already!”
Nonetheless, a fantastic catch.
30 years ago dates back to 1992
Is this the siding that they had to lay all new track inside the yard area?? It looks different at night so I can't tell.
They laid new track in here last year. The yard was relaid in 2004 for a different customer.
@@SouthCoastRailVideos I went back thru my saved videos and saw that this is the one I was thinking about. Comes off the slight rise up top. I had to watch it again cuz I liked it the work they did! Thank You for the quick reply! Love all your videos and watch them all on this wonderful RR.
Thank you!
What kind of cars will they be getting
Their first two are steel loads on bulkhead flatcars
I have a question why does this railroad like too restore and remake old lines soo much?
Cool!! Was this last night?
Yes
Rents just went up again.
This is a freight train so rents aren’t affected. It’s the commuter train that will affect rent next year.
How many guys do they need to flag the crossing lol
Lol it’s a T intersection with a track running through it so a few!
@@SouthCoastRailVideos never seen that many guys flagging a crossing
@@SouthCoastRailVideos Yeah, no lights or anything. Some of those tracks just past the gate were removed or covered with asphalt not too many years ago. The floor of my house is supposedly the old railroad car doors from the old wooden boxcars. Dunno how true it is. The (sub) floor is all doors though.
And not one on the north side of the train when it exited to stop that car! (at 6:15)
In New York they leave tracks laying around forever too
work hard or get fried
