Boston & Maine Railroad Freight in the 1970s

In these films taken by the late Henry W. Marrec, we see freight action at various locations on the B&M system inclusing at the Hoosac Tunnel, East Deerfield Yard, Somerville, Waltham, Arlington on the Lexington Branch, and Ayer.

Really enjoy seeing these RR movies from the mid-1960s to mid-'70s - back when I was doing most of my railfan activity as a teen/young adult. Brings back pleasant memories of hours spent watching trains at trackside.

Loved seeing these views of the B&M. And special notice to all those boxcars with fallen flag logos.

All of your videos are well produced. Alco RS’s are one of my favorite engines.

Awesome. I was only 3 1/2 to 4, during those years. I do remember seeing the blue B&M running through Haverhill, MA. Hearing the Midnight fright running through from Riverside in Haverhill.
