- Throughout its history the Boston & Maine rostered many 2-8-0 "Consolidations" of multiple classes, builders, and specifications. Some of these machines remained in service until the end of steam on the B&M in the mid-1950s. We'll examine their legacy, technical aspects, and interesting variation of these constants of Minuteman steam power.
On the Long Island,the H Class Consols,were the general purpose engines,even pulling passengers! The New Haven,in the same Territory as the B&M,used Moguls,and only had about a handful of Consols! And over on the B&A there was a considerable number of G Class Consols! When those lines,paralleled,each other,engine spotting must have been most interesting,as the only source of data,was the RAILROAD magazine! And the Boston area,was awash in multiple lines,in every direction! History strikes again,and thank you,for getting the B&M side! Thank you 😇 😊!
What a shame non of them got preserved. Glad I found this channel though!
After watching both episodes, I find myself wishing more accurate models were made of B&M power. I would love to have an Elesco equipped K8 leading a short freight at the club!
Very well done nice work very informative thanks
Love your videos!
Great video enjoyed it very much good looking steam locomotives very cool
Rick and team…excellent video. Thank you.
L S Co = Elesco !!! Did not know that til now, some 65 years loving trains and especially steam, with Connies among my fav !!!
Wonderful story and footage !! Thanks !!
Wonderful video! Thank you!
Great videos! I just found this channel today, I'll be watching them all night. Suscribed.
I remember in 1955 while at the Southampton, NY home of my father’s cousin bc seeing a Look or Life magazine photo article of steam locomotives being cut up. It was horrifying to a seven year old steam lover.
Many Thanks for a wonderful video...!!!
I would love to see a video about the N. Billerica shops sometime in the near future. It’s my hometown and it leaves a lot of memories
Please do the P-4's next
P-4s are definitely on the list; we love 'em!
Was kinda expecting this one to be next, although I guess there isn’t any recordings of their whistles then. Still an awesome episode
Really enjoyed this. Do you have any info on the southern end of the Ct river line? The area around Holyoke to Springfield?
We certainly do! There are some great stories about the Conn River line in these episodes of our podcast:
