- In these films taken by the late Henry W. Marrec, we see freight action at various locations on the B&M system inclusing at the Hoosac Tunnel, East Deerfield Yard, Somerville, Waltham, Arlington on the Lexington Branch, and Ayer.

Fantastic video! That’s the B&M I grew up with. Brings back so many great memories!!
Wow! I loved every second of the video, thanks to everyone involved in saving these Super8 footage!🇺🇸
Loved seeing these views of the B&M. And special notice to all those boxcars with fallen flag logos.
WOW!! If there ever was a RR that needed to come back,it was the B&M--- but just as it was shown here. Just perfect !!!!!
Your having a pipe dream.
@@tonyroman1569Yes, well-- it beats most of the crap RR's that exist today, so I can dream about it .
I know that I am not the only one.
@@Joe-d7m6k welp you can but if you payed attention based on there financial problems mis management of money. I'm a b&m fan to physically work with people from there in that Era was not fun times.
All of your videos are well produced. Alco RS’s are one of my favorite engines.
Awesome. I was only 3 1/2 to 4, during those years. I do remember seeing the blue B&M running through Haverhill, MA. Hearing the Midnight fright running through from Riverside in Haverhill.
Love seeing the different footage.
Wow that brings back some great memories. I lived not far from the Hoosac tunnel in the 70's. As a boy and into my teen years we would fish the Deerfield River. I have explored both west and east ends pretty well. It's been some time since I have been there but the west portal has changed significantly. Much of the infrastructure you see in the opening clip has been removed. On the east end, That wooden building before the bridge is long gone. I forget now when they took it down. If I also remember correctly the switch just before the bride is long gone too. There was siding and junction for the old Hoosac Tunnel and Wilmington RR that was in that area. After the Bear Swamp power project was finished in the mid part of the 70's that siding and the HT&R spur was removed as the road bed ran into the dam about a mile or so upriver. It is, or was, a great way to get upriver on foot quickly to fish back to the bridge. I was 6 or 7 around the time these films were shot. My memory of the details is lost to time. I cannot remember seeing the Maroon paint scheme on the locomotives but they must have been there. But I remember the deep snow and blue locomotives. I don't ever recall seeing a F unit loco out there. GP7 and GP 9's(? the low hood ones) and the Alco switchers locomotives I do remember. Cheers
Really enjoy seeing these RR movies from the mid-1960s to mid-'70s - back when I was doing most of my railfan activity as a teen/young adult. Brings back pleasant memories of hours spent watching trains at trackside.
Even got the music on point 👉
I was born in 78 but feel like I was there in the early 70s.
That was a very enjoyable video
this was my era of trains. I lived in Fitch urg, shhhh don't tell anyone, lol
thank you video
Great movies !!
Is there any Footage of the Adam's Branch Between Pittsfield and North Adam's in in B&M days?
Has anybody noticed one thing that's missing all the box cars? ... it's when people used to respect other peoples property. There's no graffiti on any of those cars back when it was a civilized country, not like it is today. They definitely knew how to Railroad back then ... not no more. 😢
What, maybe two cars had graffiti? Curious
Who saw the 504 @ 6:39 ?
7:20
Note: cabooses and no train graffiti !!!
