Ok, #501 is Ex-Maine Central W-class 2-8-0. Alco built her in 1910 ( I believe ) She is owned by the 470 RR club, out of Portland, Me, as is #4268, the other B&M F-unit at CSRR, and how they got her, I beileve that she was at Steamtown, in Vt, and was bought down in the 80's, Before my time, so I wouldn't know. Hope that helps aywho
You know, I'm pretty sure I can just make it out behind 501 at 0:06... I hadn't noticed it missing when I was there, but you still kinda scared me a bit!

The Boston & Maine F-7 It's back up for Notch & Valley services when either 573 (Gp-7) or one of the Fp-9's are "Out of Service"
319FBMZ319 2 years ago
the 573 wont be out of service for a long time trust me they cherish that engine but its very good to know that the b&m is back up

I know it's rare to see a change in power but when there is a change of power Rail Fans get excited =D
319FBMZ319 2 years ago
would the b&m acually run the valley train? and the fp9s are the two csrr painted engines that run the notch right now correct?
werdo141 2 years ago
They have used the B&M for the Valley Train. And The Fp-9's (otherwise known as The Sisters) are The main power for the notch.

Its actually a U23-B, If it were a U-18B, it would have a V-8, lol.

Nice footage of 573. That's one of my favorite engines! She looks great in her original MEC colors.

Couldn't agree with you more. : ) It's hard to think of a better-looking scheme than the classic maroon and gold!
