That engineer at 9:32 got me, hilarious

Wow, I had no idea this yard existed, love to see it in good heath as well. (Also loved that train crew)

I've been to Ayer station a few times to ride on the Nashua river rail trail. And I've seen the big freight yard from satellite view maps

I was waiting for thit

You should make a video of Worcester Massachusetts 2 freight train companies yards

the way NS & CSX work in Ayer is a function of NS forming a joint venture with PanAm years ago where they bought 50% of the joint venture PanAm Southern that gave them rights and ownership in the tracks where they connected in Mechanicsville NY all the way to Ayer and other lines along the way. CSX acquired PamAm a couple of years ago and with that deal owns 50% of PamAm Southern which NS wanted someone else to manage so CSX would not just move traffic away from the joint venture over to their 100% owned tracks that run from ME through Ayer and over to Worcester out to Selkirk yard

that is the place i all has watch the MBTA and freight

Awesome Vid! This will definitely get me motivated to see Ayer!!

I miss the days of multiple intermodal freight trains coming through my hometown back when Beacon Park Yard was still in operation. Great video!

It's still sitting there doing nothing, Harvard hasn't done anything. They should just bring it back!!

I'm a local from the area so its cool to see a video on Ayer. Also find it kinda funny seeing CSX using dash 8s that are formerly MEC/PanAm but then also formerly CSX (the local engine and the middle engine in the set for M427). CSX had sold the engines to PanAm a while back, then before they were repainted, CSX just bought the whole railroad and so now the patched engines are back in CSX's roster and results in this weird image of a CSX locomotive having its logos patched over despite being owned by CSX.

I’m sure they didn’t want them and they won’t be around for too long!

Cool video. Csx has a small yard in Boston city limits at Readville as well

Cool, I run these tracks all the time. Looks like you got a great day.

very interesting

There was a CSX yard right by Storrow Drive until a few years ago. Not really sure why they ripped it up.

the guy with a traffic cone on his head lmfao

coolest engineer ever!!! :D

I remember i was out on the same day but we somehow kept missing each other

This was great

9:33 YEEEEEEEEAAAAAHOOOOOOO

You should check out east Deerfield too

2:21 uhm sir your marker lights

By your channel is interesting I like it you popped up in my inbox feeds so I watched a video and learn something it wasn't very educational I enjoyed. How often do you put videos out? You go to different yards or just stay at one.

Im glad you enjoyed! I put videos out ever 2 weeks on sunday. I mainly film in the boston area, but sometimes my adventures take me out of state, or even country!

Nice video. Some editing feedback, any text on screen, you want it to stay up long enough to read everything twice.

Is the Ayer Tower manner?

i think 264 and 265 will have trackage rights once the connector from richmondville to voorhesville ny is in place ,csx now berkshire and eastern will take it east from mechanicville til then

Boston does have s small yard but not used much irs mostly for locals

FYI, Ayer is locally pronounced "Air," with one syllable.
