It is home heating season, and that means it is time to run wood pellet trains again! Here, we have MLBK 70 on train WP-2.

I don't know why but whenever I see your little green engine toodling through the woods by itself, no people on it, I imagine hearing upbeat jazz piano music to accompany it and the occasional "toot-toot" as it passes the camera.

You know, for a children's TV show from the 80's, that theme song was actually quite good.

It’s great to see the 70 running again in its full glory. Beautiful paint job, too. You do need a horn though. And a brake. lol

@MillBrookRailroad 9 ай бұрын

Yes! Those would be good at some point. Track is my main priority at the moment, though.

Awesome run and I liked it when the camera was down by the journal box to cool .

Good to see "THE VERMONT PELLETS COMPANY " SHIPPING PELLETS AGAIN IN HUGE UNIT TRAINS ON THE MILLBROOK CENTRAL &VERMONT RAILWAYS 😅😅😅❤❤❤

I'm not sure I'd call a three car train huge, but it is good to be hauling stuff on the railroad again.

The Millbrokes revenus season is back Will you ever put up signs along the right of way ? Will you ever have😅 7:00 track signs ? Whistle posts ?

@MillBrookRailroad 9 ай бұрын

One day I'll have trackside signs.

Ahhhhh Fall in full force. At one point I was wondering if you could almost plow the leaves off? 😉

@solarusthelonghaulerrailfa3226 9 ай бұрын

Looks like the track is in a lot better shape hopefully not as much derailing as before

@MillBrookRailroad 9 ай бұрын

There are a lot of gremlins hiding in the shadows that I haven't had time to fix this year. Honestly, I'm a little nervous about this winter.

I put 4 tons of Spearfish pellets in the basement this Summer. By brother came up with the technique of rolling them down the stairs like big slinkies. Looks like you could use a "leaf blower car" ahead of the engine to clear the track. Great video, thanks much!

@MillBrookRailroad 9 ай бұрын

I'll get out there at some point to clear the leaves and the weeds.

Do wet leaves present traction problems? Good to see your RR performing well.

@MillBrookRailroad 9 ай бұрын

Wet leaves make the track greasy and a lot like ice.

Seems like I was burning about a bag of pellets a day in Gardner, Mass…this was in a double wide mobile home with six inch exterior walls. You might be making a lot of pellet runs.

A Question I have been meaning to ask, your house. Is that waiting for cladding in wood or cement board? Keep up the great channel, love watching the wood pellet trains. When the time is right I will be building a 7.25 inch gauge line to ferry logs, hay etc on our small holding when we buy one!

You had some nice shots on this run. But it looks like you need some of the home brew herbicide on the upper end of the road. LOL It's fun watch the railroad evolve. I know there's no such thing as evolution.

tried to donate via PP “invalid to donate” on your web site. oh well let me know how to directly donate so none is lost “service charge or fees” hope all is well, great seeing the 70 taking a run, but only 6 bags at 50 lbs. no 1k run yet? hope all is well, stay safe and keep healthy! keep up the runs! Aaron hope you have a great weekend.

@MillBrookRailroad 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I changed a setting in the website and the donate button should work now. I don't have a 1k run yet, but perhaps soon. I'm still working through the half ton I had left over from last year.
