Cool! Aside from the bell, the gate seems to have a bit of trouble going back up.

@weatherdan882002 Thanks! Yea I noticed that too. The gate with the bell on it. This crossing probably needs to be updated.

[weatherdan882002]

@dcarpine28 IDK about "updated", but maintenanced for sure...

[dcarpine28]

@weatherdan882002  Yea I guess I overreacted a little there haha. But your right an maintenance for sure!

Nice video. Just a minor correction, that's Arundel not Kennebunkport. :-)

@maineboy1979 Thank you! I was wondering that because I went to google maps and I tried street view to see what town this road was in.It didn't work so I just figured it was Kennebunkport. Thanks for the correction. :)

I saw 694 (same consist) on Saturday in N. Berwick. We were on our way back from Eliot. I missed seeing 691 by a few minutes on the way down in the morning.

@W4KSR Sweet. Does it still go slow through there due to the accident a month ago?

@dcarpine28

We were at Route 9 stopping at town Pizza for lunch, when the signals activated. The train was doing about 40 through there, so I would say there's still a speed restriction in place. I noticed a loader parked on the side of the track, next to the signal on Route 4, so they still might be doing some ROW work.

@W4KSR Yea I think they still need to fix the main because at the crossing on Rt. 4, the tracks are bent so it goes slow. I saw that same constuction vehicle your talking about when I filmed a train there.
