Скачать или смотреть Ballardvale MBTA Station Tour

Come with me on a tour of the Ballardvale MBTA Commuter Rail station. For those of you who aren't familiar with the village... it's literally a village within the town of Andover... it's a pretty quiet, secluded place. As far as trains go, though, it sits alongside one of the busiest sections of track in the Northeast.

First up is the Amtrak Downeaster, led by AMTK #90213 and powered by AMTK #21: an EMD F40PH "Cabbage" NPCU and a GE P42DC Genesis, respectively. The Genesis makes a whooshing, turbo sound as it goes by, which I think is pretty cool. Next up is an inbound MBTA Commuter Rail train, powered by MBTA #1015: an EMD F40PH. Like I said in the video, I like to see these locomotives and, unfortunately, their days are probably numbered. The last catch of the day was a Lawrence-based switcher... MEC #507, to be exact: an EMD GP40-2LW. The train it was pulling wasn't very long at all, as you can see, but it was still pretty cool.

I hope you enjoyed Ballardvale! Y'all come back now, hear? Lol.

Thanks for watching, and please subscribe!
