Restored railroad sidings: Centercab switchers in Melville, RI - 5/2023

Over the past couple years much work has been ongoing at Melville, RI including the restoration of two sections of sidings. One portion of track was rebuilt for as a station track as the other is the extension of the passing siding. Historically the passing siding was shortened but the extension restored it close to it's original length. This video shows some switching operations on both of those tracks with various equipment. Cosmetically restored 44 Ton switcher Grafton & Upton 10 is also seen being put into position for display. Both Old Colony & Newport as well as Newport & Narragansett Bay crews worked together to make these moves possible.
