Canton Railroad Gets Stuck on Slippery Rails

What ever yer driving sounds gnarly! What is it?

What are you sitting in? I heard a backup horn when you reversed.

I used to explore this area in the day! Somewhere I have photos of the SW units they once used back in the 80s, along with the now-abandoned section that once ran to North Point Road! Thanx to this line I was occasionally late for work! I'd be stuck at the Boston Street crossing seemingly forever, watching a long train just creep by! Still, interesting how back in the 50s this line was (somewhat) associated with the Ma & Pa RR-with the same president for both. Their SWs looked like Ma & Pa's!

@bullfrog1954 - Thanks - I can always count on you for some interesting information and/or observation!

Nice video. There aren't too many videos of this interesting little interchange railroad. Buy the way, what's the name of their yard located next to the 1-95 tunnels? I sometimes get it mixed up with Penn Mary to the north.

@MrConraal As someone who hung out there in the 80s and 90s (used to manage Blockbuster on Boston St) I've only heard it referred to simply as the "Canton Yard."

I'm surprised all of the people waiting didn't get out to push the thing just to get the last car through the crossing! :)

[toolengnh]

@jgwilding Or tempted to cut the last couple of cars loose and clear the crossing. 8^)
