Trains in the Foliage of Southern Maine - Railfanning Between Portland and Scarborough on 10/27/2023
On 10/27/2023, we would head for Winnocks Neck to start our day. There we would find Amtrak 684 on its way to Boston. We’d roll on towards Portland when we got word that L077 was making a run up the Mountain Branch, later catching them at Rand Road. Later on, we’d go back to Winnocks Neck after hearing about L063 and an unknown eastbound both on their way east. Before either train would show up, L080 would depart Rigby westbound and accelerate across the marsh. They would meet L063 in Saco. L063 showed up not long after that with a duo of EMD’s for power. The unknown eastbound would meet L080 at Wells, and then make their way towards Rigby. The eastbound ended up being an extra L080 from Lawrence, MA. They called as U080 and we’re headed for Rigby.

I totally wasn't there with you 🤭
True 😂
Good catch! What time are they normally through? I’ve only managed to catch a song daytime freight down here in Wells, I was considering pulling a nightshift trackside.
@@TravelingRailfanThey’re out of Rigby between 19:30 and 22:00 on most nights.
@@MaineCentral321 oh wow that’s not nearly as late as I was expecting. Are the northbound s the train I keep seeing in the morning then?
@@TravelingRailfan yup, they tend to get to Rigby in the late hours of the night or really early in the morning.
Wowie zowie!
Great videos of the lights and sounds of the CPKC Holiday Train!
great awesome catches and video of this Canadian Pacific holiday train nice horn action to0 with jingle bells
Thanks!
great catches and video of this Canadian Pacific holiday train nice horn action too
Awesome video! glad we could meet up and chase with eachother!
It was a blast! Glad we could chase together.
I sacrificed that river shot for Derby, big mistake

What tone of K5LA is that
A nice mix of passenger and freight trains fill this very entertaining video... Love the Pan Am engines you caught !!!
No Intro!?
Womp womp I had already edited this lol
@@MaineCentral321 tisk tisk tisk
This is great stuff, I just got up here for the winter, any places you’re recommended around southern Maine to railfan?
Thanks! Daylight trains can be hard to come by in certain parts of southern Maine lately. South (timetable west) of Rigby has been a toss up lately with freight activity being unpredictable. East of Rigby, on the other hand, typically has 1-2 eastbounds in the morning hours, as well as a westbound. There is also a local that serves industries in the Portland area during the day. There are some Facebook groups that may be helpful as well, though some of them are unfortunately set as hidden. Hope this helps!
Nice! I’m glad CSX is assigning the AC44s to former Pan Am trackage as in my opinion those are very reliable and much better to see than Gevos all the time!
Can I use a part of this video (optional)
Nice video. That train seemed to be moving at a pretty good pace. What happened to 4266 and 4268? And is CSR going to be expanding into maine
Thanks! 4266 and 4268 are both at North Conway and occasionally are placed onto the trains. Unlikely that Conway Scenic is expanding to Maine, but time will tell.
Did they just buy 2310 and 2308 from finger lakes rail road
Midcoast is a subsidiary of Finger Lakes. 2308 and 2310 still use FGLK reporting marks.
@@MaineCentral321 oh ok I did not know that
Awesome catches!
Sucks to see this beauty destroyed but at least the crews were okay
Sad to see 7011 destroyed but as long as the crew was not harmed in the wreck then that’s good.
awesome setting
A terrific film ! What are the engine types ? Thank You 👍
Thanks! The 252 is a GP38, and the 216 is a GP35.
@@MaineCentral321love for a high hooded SD35 make it to the Collection someday
Great video and awesome catch
Awesome chase cool catches and great video
Great catches and chase and nice video
Really enjoyed watching this terrific chase video with 2 amazing engines that I haven't seen before... Nicely done !!!
The echo must of been insane
The Disaster Caused By Kereta Alien Indonesia And Their Minions With Their Antics. KAI From Indonesia Must Be BLAMED For THIS!
What Disaster ??
The three engines and about half a dozen cars derailed just up the line. The engines were destroyed, especially the lead unit. The crew was still able to make it out with minor injuries.
Maravilhoso !! Os carros são Pulmann ?🇧🇷
Thanks! While Conway Scenic does have some Pullman cars, I don’t believe than any of these are Pullman.
Only thing left of 7011 is bits of the cab and the radiator. Glad the crew made it out safe.
While I am saddened in losing 7011. CP can choose another unit to paint up. The crew getting out alive just means in my book the locomotive in the end did it's job. Rest easy big girl you will be missed.
Great Catch CP 7011 The Engineer Crew Made it Out Alive of A Train Wreck Keep Upset CP 7011 He Fail Crash Total Loss is Sad Day
Gonna quit using rail keep wrecking.
Great video !! How fortunate that you were able to film part of the last run of these destroyed units. James.
Do you ever know if this locomotive was a total loss?
Yes, all that is left is the radiator.
I'll miss 7011. I hope they can manage to fix her and put her back in operation. Very glad no one hurt.
Pretty much everything, but the cab was obliterated in the crash
So Sad CP 7011
Just saw photos which got released, all thats left is the nose
There goes the paint job!
I'm grateful the crew made it out alive of that wreck. I get a lot of people are upset about 7011 becoming a total loss but at least several other heritage units like her still exist. You can't replace a person like you would a loco.
So true man! :/
Wow Is Sad CP 7011
I love watching this Live cam. When will it be back?:
It went back up right after you commented.
You never know. video recording CN switching cars at Port Saint John Potash terminal the last thing I expected was a derailment.
An "Incredible Catch" by Maine Central Railfan!!!! This Brownsville, Maine CP crew was incredibly lucky indeed! In fact, the durable Progress Rail / EMD cab on the SD70ACU may be exactly what saved them on that horrible day. It is unfortunate we lost the first two of those locomotives on that day (7011 and 7005). I'm happy I got to see them both several times during their short life. 🧐
A pointless video
If you don’t like the video, you don’t have to watch it…
What's pointless about the video?
@@ADIX2400 Exactly. We all upload and view different content.
The Greenville station looks like a great place to railfan. I'll have to visit this summer. Real shame about 7011, will we see her back and the same scheme ?
All but the radiator of 7011 melted after it caught fire.
@@MaineCentral321 😟 It's a good thing the crew made it out and railfans were able to help them get emergency services alerted.
great video of this film you made very impressed by the outlook.
Very nice catch! You've earned a new Sub
I didn't see a disaster, not that I'm in to train wrecks. I enjoy a good train video. Great close up in the beginning.
Because the disaster happened afterwards......
Because it happened miles west of the station.....
This stinks. Why couldn't it had been a ratty old unit instead of a heritage unit?
Great video. I subscribed to your channel as well!
