RFW ride on MBTA  

This is like my Netflix! Keep up the great work!

Nice grab. This is the line I used to live on. Great to see it like this. Sad to hear this engineer moved on, he sounds like a really cool railroad guy.

19:57 That was a close call.

They named Kellys Interlocking after the nearby liquor store lol 🤣

I love how "Ham and Eggs" mentioned how you couldn't get parking at Forest Hills and said it's usually the reason why railfans stay away from that station. Me and my friend managed to find one at that station in March. We had a great time railfanning there. A lot of great action!

I lived in Hyde Park from 1975 to 2012 - there used to be four tracks, with track 4 being the furthest to the left. When they rebuilt the line from 1979 to 1987, this track was removed and the rebuilt platform was made out of Track 4. The current Track 4 and 5 is now considered the Needham Line - Track 5 is the single track between Roslindale Village and Needham Heights (with two side tracks outside of West Roxbury and Needham Heights) and Track 4 is the inbound track towards Forest Hills and also the side tracks outside of West Roxbury and Needham Heights stations, usually used to let other trains go by. Before 1979, the trains ran on an embankment between just outside of Forest Hills to around Northeastern University, and descended through a trench until it reached old Back Bay. The Orange Line operates in the embankment that ran the commuter rail trains; right around Roxbury Crossing you can see part of the old embankment.

Thanks for another ride along and the comments you and the engineer provided describing the line, stations and other trains. It is great to see the view from the front window where we usually don’t get to see.

Nice RFW ride. Real speed on the Northeast Corridor section. Ham and Eggs is really informative. Thanks Tim👌💚

The new 88 double deck cars are replacing the all the older commuter rail cars from South Station and North Station there is talks on adding more cars to the order due to the new commuter rail lines coming from South Station to New Bedford and Fall Rivers opening this year

"Kellys" for the Kelly"s Liquor store on Hyde Park Avenue. The original station that was there was Clarendon Hills.

Fun to "ride along" with you and a friendly engineer.

One of your best videos. Real personal touch to it, thanks

That was a fun ride. These are very personable videos. Hope Ham and Eggs is doing well wherever he is now! And sweet surprise indeed at 128!

Nice catch nice engineer godbless to bad he move on

I'm so glad you have expanded your reach! My old territory! Bravo!

26:10 is the location of the old Mount Hope station.

I’ve known Stoughton my whole life. I’ve lived in the Boston area my whole life

He gets some nice speed, once on the NEC!

loved the comments Glad you didnt get hmi in trouble. You remind me of my late great friend George Redding. Wonder if you ever knew him?

Me and a friend will be at Secaucus Junction all day on the 20th if you wanna stop by

excellent

Nice. informative to us who ride this.

The engineer is with Amtrak now

Ayyy it got reuploaded. Watched this last time it was uploaded and was wondering why it went away.

19:57 Oh deer!!!

Love your videos

I saw 2110 at Mansfield the same day lol

Geesze, Stoughton Station looks so much like Framingham's "Grand Central"

wow they don't even have to wear boots? It seems like engineers for MN, LIRR and Amtrak are required to. I like how locomotive engineers here in the states aren't required to wear uniforms. I remember seeing a LIRR engineer in a biker jacket and jeans as if he was going to a bike club meet after his shift lol

Interesting how MBTA mixes single and multi levels. NJT has always kept them separate

Nice while on the way to Boston you saw the new Acela Express, do you know when it will be testing on the East Coast side between Washington and NY, cuz I looked for it and never got to film it before:(

Nice video. If you could do more RFW videos that would be great Where does the term ham and eggs engineer come from?

Is MBTA Commuter Train 884 an express from Stoughton to Boston South Station?

How do I even go about doing this myself?

What happened to the ham and eggs engineer

That name George B. travels far.

Howdy….! Watching the video and I am about 15 minutes and between 35 and 50 seconds… you mentioned that “good speed can be had up around New Haven” I could be mistaken, but is this not where your turbo train broke the record, which it still holds that record today….we had the turbo up here, travelling between Toronto and Montreal….
