I live in manchester on the rockport line and boy you really see some interesting things on that line

Absolutely. A surprising amount goes on for a line that doesn’t connect on both ends !

Thank you - might you mean 1137? As I don’t believe 1136 made an appearance this time

In case you didn’t know, but sorry if you do, GP40MC 1123 has received a new horn.

No problem at all. I wasn’t completely sure, but I saw it last week and its horn looked very shiny for sure

You know you're early when the video is still 360p

You said it! Processing can take ages

@@rail_spike_productions Generally when I upload I just wait for it to process before it goes public. That way everybody can view it at higher quality, and people wouldn't be drawn away from my channel because of low quality videos.

@rail_spike_productions Ай бұрын

I had this one set up upload at 7 in hopes that it would have had time to process in the few hours before. Guess it wasn’t enough this time

@ericschwartz3559 Ай бұрын

Wait, are the trains at 2:47, 11:37 and 12:53 reversed sets because the first two trains had the K car in front and it’s where the engine is supposed to be because those were outbound and the last one had the engine leading instead of the cab car inbound? Weird, what is the purpose of them doing that?

@rail_spike_productions Ай бұрын

Yes - that set was flipped in order to position the locomotive to plow snow out of the way a few days prior. The idea is that set would run the first inbound train of the day on some line, and the locomotive would take the impact/any damages from the blizzard instead of the cab car
