On Friday March 8th, I went to Canton Junction right after the snowstorm stopped, dumping up to 20+ inches of snow... I was unaware, that a large snow bank was on the inbound track. So what happens when a 100+mph train slams into that hidden snow bank? Well just watch.... I thought I was hit by a truck, due to the impact of snow I felt. I uploaded my video to youtube: Please check it out here, or on my youtube channel. Thanks.

Wanting to try something different, I spent a little time videotaping workers fixing the ballast on the commuter and Amtrak lines near Union Station. Later, an Amtrak Coastliner makes an appearance.

Here is a video of the Amtrak Downeaster. It had left the Amtrak Station and proceededSouth on the Pan Am mainline. It then swings westerly to cross the Fore River at the Veteran's Bridge and heads towoard Rigby Yard. The mainline then sweeps to a South direction after passing the Kaolin Terminal.

I waited patiently, and finally it went by. The bridge it is traversing is named Veteran's Bridge. It then passes through Rigby Yard on it's way back to Boston. This video was shot from Forest City Cemetery in Portland, Maine.

Here is a great shot I got of the Amtrak Downeaster. it had left the Amtrak Station and proceeded South on the Pan Am mainline. It then swings westerly to cross the Fore River at the Veterans Bridge and heads towoard Rigby Yard. The mainline then sweeps to a South direction after passing the Kaolin Terminal.

A Southbound Amtrak passenger train meets the Northbound train at Hanford Station, In Hanford, California. I saw the headlights of the Southbound train approaching in the distance while at a crossing, & before I could finish parking, it was already at the crossing as I turned the corner. So,,, Quick! Grab the camera, & start filming what I can get, & hope for the best. No time for the tripod. Sorry if it's shaky in some spots. Not as good as I was hoping for, but still worthy of posting I suppose...(?) You be the judge. Please comment if you can. Thanks.
