Every video iv’e seen of this train misses the short crossing through Lebanon Maine By the Milton Dam. This is a scenic area with a wooden trestle leading over the lake to the Lebanon Maine side crossing. As far as I know it is the only other state it crosses into until it heads into Massachussets.
Super Show of NHN operations! FURX #5509 we saw years ago near Selkirk CSX yard on it’s way and stored temporarily at Selkirk before it was delivered to NHN!!! A great looking GP38-2!
I love shortlines like this. Awesome power and horns, a unique operation, a scenic yet accessible route, and very well-maintained track and track speed. Excellent video!
Another fantastic video! Great work! PBS had a documentary series about the NHN maybe 25 years ago. It was interesting then, but your skills and quality captures eclipsed that!
The FRA doesn't visit them much. Watching them pull out of the pit at 25 MPH in notch 8 (with the conductor riding the tail end) is insane. That Runner is restricted speed. I'm surprised they've not been in the paper.
Thats all yard limits, which I believe they are able to do 20 mph max. Which they might have been doing just over that in the video, but once they hit the uphill grade that would slow them back down. If its that big of an issue to you, be a rat and submit a complaint to the FRA.
@@TBone-McGlaughlin If the track is good for it, yes Restricted Speed is 20 MPH max. But there is no way you can stop a loaded cut of cars in one half your range of vision leaving that pit going that fast. Especially without the engineer on the leading end. I'm good, my days of hanging off cars are long over with. It's just interesting to see how some smaller hack railroads ignore operating rules without recourse.
I want to give you respect, you do such a beautiful job with your videos what I have turned them off because I just can’t get past you mispronouncing names like Ossipee, for the love of the Lord, please drive into Ossipee Sanden gravel and ask for Jordan Park he will give you a wonderful rundown on how to pronounce each town, each station, everything he basically runs the shower there, he is a wonderful guy and you have a wonderful channel, I’m sorry you I’m sure are a wonderful person but as soon as I hear the mispronunciation I am just like I can’t do this, I’d rather watch a girl hiking in the woods on another channel and I want so badly to watch your videos because they are beautiful please don’t be offended everybody mispronounces things the first time he’s Indian words are not easy

what a dream railroad this is. Old EMDS in nice shape moving pretty nice size trains at good speed on jointed rail. What a treat to experience

Great video of the local shortlines well done
NHN is a fun one, great looking old EMDs with each one having a very nice sounding horn!
nice work
cool video I read somewhere that another GP-18 is going to the NHN 904?
Indeed, ex MBTA as far as I know.
@@BranchlineGeepProductionsYep, that is the one. I wonder if it will replace anything?
@@RTS4018 Time will tell I guess.
Wow a beautiful video of a cool innovative railway 😊😊😊😅😅😮😢🎉😂❤❤❤

@@TBone-McGlaughlin I've worked on operations where their own rules lower it to 15. Local operating practices may have dictated extra caution
OUTSTANDING!
Why can’t 1801 run on the CSX lines?
Technically it does go to Boston on CSX lines.
Is there a typical schedule that this train runs on? I am from Chelmsford MA and would love to spend some time chasing this train.
Monday through Thursday they depart the pit in the early to mid afternoon. Tuesday through Friday they depart Dover northbound around 7.
Ossipee = AW-si-pee

This is a start-but boring-get a drone up and do verbal commentary-distant signal is an excellent model
okay why don’t you do that then
