If I'm not mistaken service into Gloucester was brought to an end in 1981 after the deadly Passenger/Freight collision at Prides Crossing..

Seems like the owner of the G&U is purchasing another well known NE RR!! He is looking into CSRR!

To all members it is with great sadness that I report the loss of a great man, that shared a wealth of knowledge with us and his love for the history of Streetcars.. Gerry O'Regan (Gerry6309) has Passed away last night while in Maine at the Seashore Trolley Museum.

I must know.. When will the MBTA be upgrading the crossing guard switch at Willow St. In Reading, MA? All trains having beeping consistently over the past month, including at 1 AM. We all love trains .. but even the horn can get a bit annoying ;) Thanks, David Sounds to me like someone moved too cl...

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere just figured this was correct thread. I was driving by Bradford station today and noticed construction activity on east side of bridge. They have cleared a path way from road (South Elm St) down to the river embankment next to the bridge, looked like some RR o...

How many million dollars do these cars cost each? My $99 GPS admonishes me ("Caution!") when I'm 10-15mph over the speed limit. The "T" should automatically know the exact speed, position, and direction of all of their revenue vehicles. The main slow spots are in the tunnels. Ma...

Only 24 cars? I wonder what happened to the plan to replace the Type 7s with Type 9s?

Bringing something new to light in this thread, why is it stated in an article about the governors plans to expand south coast rail to FR/NB, that it would be a federal requirement for electrification rather then diesel? If that is the case I would see the T having to lease/buy electrics. This is fr...

181 leaving off Track 10 had nothing to do with the incident in Oak Island. Just a late equipment swap. Train 68 struck and killed a trespasser at Oak Island crossing in Revere. No.183 stopped just short of the incident. Compounding that incident was PAR freight POSE struggling with mechanical issu...

Something going on on Rockburyport tonight? 181 left NS on track 10 instead on 2 and proceeded up the usual southbound track before crossing over after the Mystic River bridge. EDIT: T-Alerts: "All trains significantly delayed due to police action." No delay here though. We're right on ti...
