I love it
I feel save in the train and I love train ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember pre-covid the 408 Fitchburg to Boston express was often a seven car set (long for Northside standards) and the 508 was nine doubles.
it looks kinda weird when locomotives are sandwiched between the single-level/double-decker levels.
Boston, USA, 2nd floor passenger car This vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Rotem in South Korea.
Классно!
Ooh, La La!🤌👌
The slow one make a music beat
No way you saw a 2C!!
I like it!

Greetings. How far North and South does the MBTA commuter train service other than Boston and immediate surrounding areas? I use to live up in Salem Massachusetts. And am a native born New Yorker from the Bronx. I enjoyed the video really great video work. 👍

Thank you very much! I believe that the northern most station on the system is Newburyport on the Newburyport line and the southern most station is Wickford Junction on the Providence line.

@@rail_spike_productions Thank you for the information on the lines of service. For the life of me? I couldn't remember the full extent of line service the B&M MBTA train serves. Lol still looks as if they actually have more commuter train service than freight trains still running up there🤭 Anyway thanks for the great videos and reply.

Great video. Awesome long MBTA commuter rail trains. My questions are 1 Did they move that parked freight train? 2 Do thêse freight trains have cabooses?
@rail_spike_productions

Thanks very much. To answer your first question, yes, that train was only stopped there for a few hours as it waited for a new crew. As for cabooses, they are very uncommon around here. The only one that can be seen frequently is MBTA’s caboose “C-1” which operates on work trains.

Cabooses are unfortunately mostly a thing of the past. Now there are just End Of Train Devices (EOTs or ETDs) - more or less a flashing light with a radio on it.

What is the Readville Switcher? Also, what was the MBTA's purpose of those extremely long commuter trains?

The readville switcher is most commonly known as the MBTA’s equipment shuffle between the north side and the south side. There is a large variety as to why these long trains ran. Details about each of the trains in this video are in the description
