  • In January of 2022 the dormant Bay Colony Millis Line was reactivated after three years of no revenue moves. This video shows before and after views of the line from September 2021 to January 2022. A second part of this video will be uploaded at a later date.

    The hard work recovering the track for use again was really commendable. It's pleasing to see a resurgence of older tracks being reinstated as it is here in the UK. Keep up the good work.

    Enjoy these videos. Particularly the lack of music - music isn't necessary. Thanks!

      No there was music. 567 piece orchestra.

    What a transformation, from a tangled jungle to a working railway line again 👍🏻😁

    It looks so cool seeing trains on abandon tracks, or inactive ones

    Good to see a rail line coming back; did you notice poor old 1701 has no windows on the right side !

    If this is where I think it is, I saw a number of empty hoppers(?...i was doing 50mph on 27) stored there. Much better than seeing weedy, abandoned tracks. Thank you.

    Did the 1701 engine have a hard time starting up because it was sitting there a long time just wanted to know thanks awesome video

    • @SouthCoastRailVideos
      @SouthCoastRailVideos  Před 2 lety +4

      They occasionally did maintenance and started the engine several times while the track wasn’t used so it wasn’t that bad

    Did you get any video of the overgrowth clearing? What attachment did that backhoe have and how did it work?

  • @davidstoner3523
    @davidstoner3523 Před 2 lety

    I noticed they did a good job weeding the line but is the roadbed safe considering it’s buried

    Is this a terminal shortline? Storage operation?

  • @jamesbraxton6132
    @jamesbraxton6132 Před 2 lety

    Looks like they're using it for car storage.

      It's chemicals used by the Tesla concrete company which is near by.

    So they spend thousands of dollars clearing tracks , just to store empty railcars ?

    • @SouthCoastRailVideos
      @SouthCoastRailVideos  Před 2 lety +2

      Nope because those were loaded cars going to a customer
