I am from Sandwich and I have walked to work on these tracks many, many, times. The second scene at the Jarves St. depot (there was actuallt a station there once) shows a sign reading "2 tracks" but those tracks are about one-quarter mile long and have'nt been used since the early 70's. Even then they were just used for temp. storage. The train you see is a sightseeing train you can ride for an exhorbitant fee. Other than that it's really a nice walk from the cranberry bogs of E. Sandwich.
There is still an active station located right there (Sandwich station) and it is actively used each day there's two scenic trains running. About 20-30 people use the station each trip, either to go to Hyannis or to spend about three hours in the town. The Sandwich runaround track (the second track) was actually used up until 2002 for meets between certain scenic trains and charter trains (there are pics online). Mass Coastal actually officially reopened that runaround about a week ago.
cool a US&S M-BELL cool!!!great video i like the sound of it sounds like a fast wrrs
the wrrs mini bell at dewey ave was a clanger as i call em i dont like em too i dont mine if they click and ding but this is ahhh the next one wasnt any better but was cool i also like it is a three signal crossing cool five stars and fav
Spring Hill Rd crosses the tracks twice. Which crossing were you at? The one closer to the canal or the one off the Rte 6A/Meeting House Rd Intersection? I went over the latter crossing about a month ago.
So if it was at Quaker Meeting House RD, the next crossing heading back to Hyannis is Rte 6A and that crossing has a Cantilever Signal, your favorte. There are a few crossing on this line w/Cantilever signals, but they are mostly in Barnstable.
in the last video that mini bell sounds like the ones we have in brewer,maine.

I've ridden on that train (CCCRR) a few times. It is well worth the price and I have several videos of my trip up here.

I Know it was Near Quaker Meeting house RD. That's Really Cool! The other Crossing Is at a Bad Curve and there is No Place to Park.
