Abandoned siding restoration: Mass Coastal ballast train - Gallo, Sagamore, MA 3/14/2024 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YGoCkj0jdFA.html

I love the sound of the ties and the metal creeking, the wheels squealing, and the low rumble of the prime mover! It's really great with headphones. Trains are awesome!

That is so cool! That’s two in a row old dinosaurs pulled out of extinction! Well done and thanks what you do for us.

10 long years of neglect and it still moves as it was placed there yesterday!!! It is heartening to see an old abandoned siding being restored and used again!

That's actually a really smart way of keeping the track from getting overgrown

While it hard to believe, sometimes cars do get lost. They end up in storage and lost in systems tracking system. We have found cars lost for years for clients.

Not just the car but the rails haven't had weight upon them for 10 years. Its quite amazing what a growing bush or sappling can do to rail beds over time.Nice performance

Great video! Really enjoyed the production of it too, i’m glad to see the photos at the end of the video. It’s good to see this railway pull out a stored car and shed some light on it, good thing you were able to catch this historic move!

Awesome!!!!! Very cool to see it move again. Out with the old, refurbish, and in with the revenue!

Very Exciting....😮😮 Thank you for sharing......Hope you keep Showing this siding restoration and first car spotting......❤❤❤ Great you showcased this area ..Probably encouraging this new Customer. To use rail......😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊yeaaaaa😮

That is without a doubt the jankiest looking gondola I’ve ever seen. But good to see it moving again.

Great videos, thank you!

Wonderful. Thank you. Interesting how you just happened to be there when they made the move. 😉

this is so amazing!! thank you so much, amazing really amazing

I’m surprised that car’s axles could still turn. I could see the wheels dragging when it first came out …

The inescapable march of time ,sooner or later it gets everyone and everything .....😢

Market place environments change. Sometimes after years and staff changes, it is discovered returning to rail is cost-effective

very well shot as usual

Love your videos keep up the good work my man

love it

Good one !

great catch, very unique... so this rail spur is coming back to life.... did the HRRC lose the file card on this one? is that gondola a cut down, recycled 40' boxcar? would be interesting to model.... and no graffiti, just rust....thank you for sharing !

That’s one way to keep a car from getting all graffitied up

Awesome video. 👏👏

dang that railcar has been sitting there for 10 years and still moves!

Too cool

Great video to see what has been abandoned to be restored for future service! That locomotive is a sharp looking piece. Thanks again for sharing this video with us along with your time and effort! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA. Btw, i have a question for you. Would you be willing to donate a sticker to my railroad room I'm creating. Im a disabled Delawarian due to a hereditary nerve disease and don't get out much. Trains are my passion and have been since i was 5. I have a section of wall that im putting these stickers that other RU-vidrs have sent me. Thanks for your time and God bless you!

Great video,.killer horn!

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

That's the famous Sagamore Bridge over the tracks, which also bridges the Cape Cod Canal. We crossed the Sagamore many times when I was a kid, when our family vacationed on Cape Cod. The Canal separates Cape Cod from mainland Massachusetts.

There is also a gallo siding in long island. That is a wine siding! Good thing to get the siding looks like the tracks and points are maintained passed the fixed frog!

What an awesome capture! It's not every day you get to see that kind of stuff. It was a fun watch, and I bet it must've been cool to see history in the making! God bless you, fellow railfan, and take care. 🎩👌🏻 ~ Joseph trainonthetrack 10/19/2023

Well at least it was "garage kept."

Good job filming

A little help , and it runs again , perfect ... :-)

It would be interesting to understand this from the car owner's perspective. Does the car not have a positive market value? Why not sell it if you're not going to use it? Or sell it for scrap? Baffling.

Superb ... Very interesting

Why are they fixing the siding? New customer there or Gallo needs another type of car (boxcar?) in there now?

Great catch! One odd looking car. Steve

Great train 🚆 video.😊

Awesome hopefully they redo it put the car back into service again

Great video. You seem to have a knack for being in the right place at the right time…how do you do it?

Cool

Interesseting video :)

In my living memory of this location, which only stretches back to about the time you and I met in 2014, that car NEVER moved. I bet if I dig through my computer I can find a picture, because I think I have one from that long ago (If so I'll share it in the fb group)

That's cool 😎

Nice Friggin catch

Poor thing.😢

enjoy see video of old abandon rail cars being move from there would be graves, but any thing to do with the RR that was abandon and being brought to life I enjoy, old cars, engines, cabooses, and old rail equipment bring brought back from retirement and used again/

Did the flanges carve our new grooves in that black tap?

Thanks for filming this interesting move. Wonder what sort of cars are on the train that pulled the abandoned car out of the siding. They sort of look like modified coal gondolas.

Looking at the springs as they pulled it out it looks like it's loaded.

Near real-time video posting! Thanks

Interesting car.... I wonder if it was Built like that. Or Modified.... And why was it left there so long.... RR hoping that Fly-ash loads would restart?

A nice bath, some tender loving maintenance and some creative graffiti and that gondola will be as good as new.

Looks like the property owner could have gotten the brush and trees cut out so y'all could get it easier, and seeing the asphalt getting crushed was cool, there's a rail line down in North Carolina that is only partially used anymore, the line used to run from Durham to South Boston and had spurs off of it to Henderson (N.C.) to Richmond Va., the line now only runs to Oxford at the Certainteed asphalt shingles plant, all of the north bound road crossings are paved over with trees growing up between the rails the side rails going to Henderson and Richmond were taken out almost thirty years ago but a lot of the crossing barriers were left in place

Interesting. Something this simple is nice to see, in these days/times of ridiculous "news"! I'm thinking this old car was in reasonable shape because it was under cover. Thx for the share.

Isn't there a break inspection or something required after all that time to move a car?

Interesting video. It looks like a modified boxcar.

6:50 What did the brakeman place next to the rail?

Am i reading the reporting mark correctly as HRRC?

Wait a moment... I thought there were regulations on how long the brake systems on cars go without being thoroughly inspected and certified. There's no way that car should be good to go for any length of movement. Is the plan to have it scrapped?

i’m surprised it sat that long and its tires never went flat..

Thats a hell of a lot of dwell time!

I didn’t know I had a siding

Hurray! it has been freed from its tomb!

Very interesting, why leave it sitting soo long? Who owned it? Never seen a gondola like that, notice one of the side walls was cut lower….

That car has vintage written all over it. The rivets tell the story.

Is this site being prepared for future C&D loading?

What went on in that building?

What is the reason the car was left at the spot? Why was it moved?

I thought I saw "MEC" on the reporting marks. Does anyone know the car's history? Will it be restored and put back in service?

Who owns the car? What was the disposition? Was demmurage collected?😅

Yes. That was cool, but instead of just a move, it should have been an extraction. Man what a move. 👍👌✌️🤓

Great video, who owned the car?

Interesting car. Pulpwood I imagine.

Wonder what’s inside the gondola?

I'm curious, why did the train have several cars attached initially?

What railroad did that car belong too?

What is that car used for? It's an odd design that I have not seen.

What was it loaded with?

Strange gondola with a high side and a low side.

Whats the story on that car?

What business or industry was served by that siding?

Aren't old cars time limited? They scrap them after so many years?

What’s interesting is no graffiti..thanks for sharing..

🇳🇱👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀

It looks like.they built that gondola out of a box car.

New customer coming?

Those rail cars need some maintenance

Looks almost like a old stump car

So if it is abandoned, how can someone claim rights to it? Meaning, if I somehow get railcar numbers for it, what would prevent me from using it for revenue?

WHAT IS THE STORY OF THE HOPPER CARS SHOVED IN THE SIDING TO PICK OUT THE CAR IN QUESTION??? VERY UNUSUAL IN THE WORLD OF HOPPERS!!

This is all about jobs jobs and reducing carbon footprint print let them walk ride their preferred mode of transportation on the other side of ROW fence jobs tax revenue

I wonder how many cars railroads have tucked away like this one

Why would you leave it there for ten years? You guys have money coming out your noses? You're so rich you don't need to give it a thought for ten years?

why was the cars right side wall lower than the left? it looked like a gondola at first.

What’s the new business? And are they running through the building with the new siding?

What are they going to do with it Scrap it.....
